Barbara Drive mixes Midwestern pop sensibility with indie rhythm and post-British invasion sound. We write in a very personal way about the people we've known, the places we're from and the places we've been, whether beautiful, uplifting or not. Our music is our art and it contains cultural comment expressed with musical and lyrical skill. We're not here just to sell product; still, we want listeners to enjoy our music. We want to be in your heads, both melodically and intellectually. Paraphrasing a British legend, we do what we believe in and don't take no sh*t. We like melody, harmony, and hooks, even if they are in songs about things as unmelodious as war, grief, love, loss, and the frustrations of the many who are living the so-called dream. Why do we do this? Because, for us, it is impossible and unthinkable to do otherwise. We just can't stop.
