ADRIFT: More Dates Announced

February 17, 2008

ADRIFT, the Tampa-based heavy rock band featuring Jack Owen of DEICIDE/CANNIBAL CORPSE fame, has scheduled the following dates:

March 01 - Clearwater, FL - Trax Music Hall
March 08 - Fort Myers, FL - Ricochet
March 15 - Seminole, FL - Boomerz Boiler Room
March 17 - Tampa, FL - Stadium Bennigans
March 29 - New Port Richey, FL - Bourbon Street

ADRIFT recently posted the song "Pushed Aside", from the group's debut full-length album "Absolution", on the ADRIFTMySpace page. This song is being marketed by ADRIFT as the first "single," or track formally released by ADRIFT to mainstream media channels such as radio, Internet radio, and satellite radio. "Back To Square One" and "Held Down", the two other songs posted by ADRIFT in November 2007 on their MySpace page, have received over 90,000 "hits," or plays, since being posted.

When asked about the wisdom of releasing a single directly to the public instead of exclusively building supply and demand through such traditional media outlets, ADRIFT drummer Kevin Astl stated, "We just want to get the music out there to the people, our friends and fans. We're not thumbing our nose at radio and would never do so, but we feel that our music should have as much reach as possible. If that includes radio support, then we welcome it, but in conjunction with our plans to push the record. We just feel that radio shouldn't be the ONLY place you can hear ADRIFT's music. 'Pushed Aside' is one of those songs that people tell us is strong, melodically heavy and memorable. We've had such a positive response to the record that we want the word to spread, and we want the music to keep flowing."

"Absolution" was recorded by David Burrill at The Sample Factory in Youngsville, NC, was mixed by Mark Lewis at Audiohammer Studios in Sanford, FL, and was mastered by Alan Douches at West West Side Music in New Windsor, NY.
