(ahem)

Guitars were my les paul standard, telecaster for the clean picking, 335 for the synthy pads (via a POG).

The rhythm sound is a cranked AC30, no pedals, no nothing, just beautiful natural overdrive.

The lead tone is my Diezel head through a Marshall quad, with an octave pedal for extra whoomph.

....and it's offical.

Black River Drive have received a New Recording Artist grant to re-record Everywhere as well as make a video to accompany the song. Join the facebook group here to be kept up to date with what the band is doing, and to hear the songs as they are recorded.

Haha, you got it.

Sounding very commercially viable and movable mate. The first thing that came to mind was a summertime coke ad but then something swayed me to pepsi. :lol:
