Sounds Like LA Times says,"The path laid out on Sunday Drivers' new "Archetypes" EP is '80s-influenced and seemingly radio-ready — maybe the Bravery if you thought they meant it, or a sportier, compact version of the Killers."

Nylon Magazine says, "A new take on new wave blast through airy synthesizers in Sunday Drivers' totally danceable pop."

Filter Magazine says, "A danceable backbeat combines with airy synths to produce what The Killers might have gone on to do had they not become obsessed with Bruce Springsteen."

popchild.com says, "...and we are going to recommend Sunday Drivers (California) because it is a really ballsy soundtrack, halfway between Interpol and the Strokes, new wave but more powerful...Sunday Drivers arrive as one of the most tempting offerings of 2007."

Rock Insider says, "I liked their sound live much better than the recordings even."

MusicTap.com says, "With a feel of the 80s in the grooves, the music is a bit like Interpol in their sound...In fact, it kept me coming back to it for repeat plays...From the perfect “The Sweetest Disguise” through the Strokes/Interpol-like “Lions of the Empire,” Sunday Drivers is one of the more exciting recording artists releasing new millennium music this year."

Detour Magazine says, "...the grooves are deliberate but concerned with class, too, like they know they’re the soundtrack for a slow-motion wee hours crawl to a Silverlake haunt the city’s rookies don’t yet know about."

The guitar becomes a synth. The bass becomes a guitar. And the synth becomes a bass. It's certainly not the usual setup when Sunday Drivers are on stage, but the Los Angeles based trio seem to have a knack for doing things their own way. Whether it's projecting imagery of 1950's family fishing trips across a bass cabinet with a guitar plugged into it, or devising unorthodox ways to make a 3-piece band sound massive live, the Drivers stand by one principle - to pursue the collective vision of the band, even if it defies all reason.

Brady Erickson, guitarist and vocalist of the band, is obsessive. After touring the US and Europe on the drums at age 17, attending art school, and traveling through the Middle East with a single pair of pants and a notepad for lyrics, Erickson coincidentally met bass player Marisa Dupuis on a double date. Marisa is a valley girl with an edge. Her uncommon sense of abstract creativity and energy found the two seeing eye to eye about music right away. A few late-night songwriting sessions later, and the foundations of the band were in place. Searching for that last element, they contacted (through MySpace, of course) a friend of a friend, Bryan Zaebst, to try playing some drums. A native of Texas who came to LA for art school and the music scene, Zaebst had been flirting with a number of music projects but felt right at home with Erickson and Dupuis. They decided immediately that he belonged with this line-up. And thus, it was a band.

In 2007, Sunday Drivers saw the release of their first effort, the Archetypes EP. In spite of tracking and mixing sessions at studios in Canada and Los Angeles, Archetypes is ultimately a self-made album. In an effort that exemplified the principle of "coming full circle," the 4 song EP was mixed in that same Hollywood apartment the band created the songs. Equally representing months of planning and moments of divine inspiration, the songs provide a perfect introduction to the band's aesthetic and method, and (in line with it's title) Archetypes sets the principle for a much larger set of tricks the trio has up their sleeve.
