Ben Park Drive. Is it
a place? A Philosophy? Maybe both. Undeniably, it represents rock music
packed with
soaring melodies and emotion. Songs
that upon first
listen will grab you and not let go. Rising from the ashes of several former
Denver based rock bands, Ben Park Drive emerges as much more than a sum of
its parts. They came together late in 2002 to begin crafting what would become
their debut album "Signs Are Everywhere".
Ben Park Drive enlisted
the guidance of industry veteran Ken Lewis (David Byrne, Public Enemy,
Mariah Carey) to produce the album. Ken set out to help
the band
realize their musical vision and began a long process of writing, pre-production
and revision. Ken says "I wouldn't let the band go into the studio for
8 months. They were impatient, but every time we got together or they would
send me a new song, I saw such tremendous growth. I knew what this album could
sound like long before they did, and I wanted to give them time to develop
and grow as writers and performers. The finished album far exceeded even my
lofty expectations. I think this is a hit waiting to happen."
Their album
was recorded in Nashville and mixed in New York City.
