Phonodrive
 

It isn't productive to name comparable bands. Not because Phonodrive claims to have reinvented music. It's just that there is lots of space between Dinosaur Jr. and The Corrs, two bands with which the five-piece has been compared. Phonodrive navigates somewhere between the corner posts of confidence, melancholia, energy, joyful experimentation and timelessness – or in other words Pop and Rock ’n’ Roll in its proper and haunting sense. In an interview singer Corinna once put it with only a few words: „We’re a pop band that likes to play loud.”

Phonodrive from near Frankfurt formed to create tiny cracking pop-pearls, but proved to delight with softer notes as well – they enjoy playing big festival venues as well as tiny and smoky bars. June 2005 saw the band touring through Australian pubs and clubs – a month later Phonodrive was invited to appear at the legendary Ruisrock Festival in Turku/Finland.

After several weeks at the top spots of several internet-charts with their song “Don’t Forget Me” and tons of self distributed tapes and demos, Phonodrive recorded their debut long player "One" in 2003. The album mastered by Howie Weinberg was released Sweden in 2004. In the same year, Phonodrive provided the soundtrack song to a German Television movie production. In July 2005 the song “What Is It” was chosen out of 5000 Songs to be the soundtrack for the New York film production “Headspace”.

The new album is called “Music”.
