Rain City Drive
Formerly Slaves, rebuilt around melody, they make modern post-hardcore with the edges sanded deliberately smooth and the choruses aimed at radio.
About Rain City Drive
Rain City Drive is a rock band from Orlando, FL, formed in 2014.
Rain City Drive is an American rock band that began in 2014 under the name Slaves, founded around vocalist Jonny Craig, previously of Dance Gavin Dance and Emarosa. After Craig's departure, Matt McAndrew took over as singer, and the group changed its name to Rain City Drive in 2022 to mark the shift.
The current sound leans on clean, high-register vocals and large melodic choruses, with the screamed passages and heavier riffing of the band's post-hardcore roots used more sparingly. Electronic textures and pop structures figure prominently, placing the band closer to modern melodic rock than to the scene it emerged from.
