DEATH VALLEY DRIVER
Like its namesake, Death Valley Driver will leave you with a sore neck and a few bruises. Since forming in 2008, they have become one of the hardest gigging metal bands on the Island. In that time, they have played all over the Maritimes. The five-piece has shared the stage with Metallica, Coheed & Cambria, Seether, Protest the Hero, Matt Mays, Misery Index, Obscura, Unexpect, F**k The Facts and many others. Thanks to their opening slot for Metallica, the band was named by Crave Online as one of the top 10 opening bands in Canada, along with such heavyweights as The Arcade Fire and My Chemical Romance. They recently released their debut album “Choke The River” on Diminished Fifth Records. The album, engineered by Haywire’s David Rashed, has gotten rave reviews and had charted nationally on several Loud charts on university radio, peaking so far at number 3. Their song “Sleeping All December” is being used as the entrance music for Ring of Honor tag team The Briscoes. For Fans of: Down, Corrosion Of Conformity, Hatebreed, Pantera, Crowbar |

Exclaim! Magazine
“The grooves are just as heavy and infectious as any band you could name, while the sound is so grimy it would make Matt Pike want to go take a shower”
MetalStorm
“If we could bottle Death Valley Driver’s swamp water/metal than we would have a generation of horn throwing, head banging, swamp water drinking, metal fans that understand good music is not about genre identification. It’s about giving bands the freedom to explore their sound and supporting them with raw energy and enthusiasm”
