Drift isn’t just about the music, they’re also about creating a unique visual identity. The band aims to connect the adrenaline-fueled vibe of motorsports with the raw energy of hardcore music. Their debut lyric video for “Burnout” is their first step in showcasing this vision, blending intense visuals with hard hitting music to give taste of what Drift is all about.
“Hardcore isn’t just music to us,” says Drift’s vocalist. “It’s how we express what’s real, what’s raw – it’s a way of life.”
Their lyric explore personal struggles, societal issues and the challenges of modern life.
“Hardcore is about community,” says Drift’s guitarist. “We’re not just playing for the crowd, we’re playing with them. It’s a shared release of energy and emotion.”
With new music in the works and more shows on the horizon, Drift is ready to bring their hardcore sound and unique aesthetic to even bigger stages.
