We covered Kyoto Drive back in July (review here), and their EP, "The Approach" was full of excellent pop rock. The official video for the single "Breathe" has just been released and can be seen below - check it out! More info on the band can be found here.

Review: Kyoto Drive “The Approach” [EP]
Kyoto Drive is a UK rock band comprised of Adam Binder (Vocals/Bass), Mike Levell (Guitar/ Vocals), Mark Piper (Guitar/Vocals), and Mitch Davis (Drums) that caters to fans of Cartel, Jimmy Eat World, and The Early November. Formed in 2009, the band had a vision of creating something uplifting, something catchy, and something powerful. The band has completed a 7-track mini-album called “The Approach” with producer Matt O’Grady (Deaf Havana, You Me At Six).
“The Approach” begins with an atmospheric introduction that I advise you to skip…the good stuff begins with “Holiday”, a fiery track celebrating newfound romance. “So Much Alive” continues the feel good rock vibe with a song based on a film called August Rush. One of the most radio-friendly cuts, “Faking Laughs For Photographs” is actually about a marriage proposal. “Breathe” is a contemporary rock anthem (video below) that hits all the right buttons. The EP closes with the slightly more subdued “You Never Knew”, a song about a life in music that will likely resonate with music fans as well.
Aside from the introduction, this EP comes at you fast and strong, without a dud in the bunch. “The Approach” will be cranking out of my speakers a lot this summer!
