Matthew McCain: vocals, guitars Phil Russertt: drums, percussion, backing vocals Dave Peterson: bass Let go of your predisposed notions and suspend your disbelief! Underdrive has successfully diffused what were previously nations of American pop music in a cold war - and they did it on a digital four-track in the singer's basement. Matthew McCain, singer songwriter guitarist, has waited to regurgitate almost three decades of uncensored musical influence. Hence we have "Giving Back The Monster". Rich and descriptive at times, catchy and accessible at others, this DIY record romps unapologetically through metal riffs to organic folk strumming with respites of new-wave, punk, and grunge. Phil Russertt brings it all to life with a rythmic canvas that does more than just keep a beat but helps tell each song like a story, and with backing vocals and production ideas that add memorable hooks. Add the understated brilliance of bass lines by Dave Peterson. A dash of gothic style vocals and the slightest hint of Beatles is not outside the recipe either. Yet the album remains coherent, a meld that creates a brand new sound. And you won't believe that sound was created in an unfinished basement with a whopping budget of about $5,000! The production may not rank up there with Creed, but you'll be pleasantly surprised at the quality under the circumstances.
