Novadriver’s latest release “Deeper High” has the band returning to their bombastic era of their 2001 debut ‘VOID’. It also marks the return of lead singer Mark Miers. Who, incidentally left after the debut to persue other “musical avenues”. Miers now rejoins the original core of the band he left. Billy Reed on ear splitting lead guitar and his partner in crime, Eli Ruhf plays rhythm guitar. The tight ass rhythm section is rounded out by the low end fuss of bassist James B. Anders and drummer Eric Miller. Together, these guys pack a heavy punch of psychedelic spaced out stoner rock. Once the CD starts, it sounds like the radios on and the lady DJ is talking up the track, “You Want Yours, You Want Mine”. Hell, this is driving music for the soul. It’s space truckin’, head trippin’, smoked out rock for the masses. Check out the Monster Magnet influenced rockers like, “Turn To Stone” (not the ELO song), ‘Machine” and “Roll You”, with an ear shrieking scream at the break. All of this leads up to a blazing guitar solo from Billy. This bass driven hot rod is actually about a Chevy Nova, I believe. Not only does Eric Miller shine on the title track, “Deeper High”, but I think it’s him filling in all of those gaps with, cowbell, maracas and tambourine. The song “Stars After Stars…” is stadium rock, that’s as heavy as a sludge hammer. “Push The River” could be a single, it has a great story. There’s the ever present instrumental “Blackout”, that starts slowly, builds up and slows back down, only to explode like a supernova. But that’s not the crazy part, it blends right into the next and final song, “Whiteout”, another instrumental!! What a CD and what a production by Al Sutton and Bob Pantella. Novadriver makes the Motor City proud with this soon to be classic. It comes highly recommended.
