Whether in a small studio, outdoor festival or a packed nightclub, they are always making energetic, melodic rock with a purpose. This is the music of Orchard Drive, originating in Rochester, New York. The members have always remembered having a love for music, though it took a while for them to find a project that they fully believed in. In 2006, Nate Cronk (lead vocals/guitar), Eliot Giebel (bass guitar) and Pete Gallagher (drums) formed and began creating original, thoughtful songs. The band went into the studio and released the One Year EP only a few months later. After beginning to gig that year, O.D. placed second in the Rochester Ugly Idol Battle of the Bands Competition, competing against 27 other established bands. Orchard Drive has supported acts such as Mae, Edison Glass, Joy Electric and Bernard. On August 11, 2008, their first single "Still Alive" was voted the Alternative Rock Song of the Week on GarageBand.com. Their fan base has ballooned and they continue to pick up steam. Now, after adding Kyle Sortore (guitar/vocals), the sonic energy is complete. Orchard Drive is better than ever and could not be more excited about what lies ahead.
