“”Medicate Me” is about chasing the high of a toxic relationship to escape boredom/complacency. Featuring Rory Rodriguez from Dayseeker, produced by Daniel Braunstein, mixed by Zakk Cervini, it was a blast to bring this song to life with such talented people. This track is simultaneously one of our heaviest and most pop leaning songs to date- a sneak peak into our ambitions and hard hitting third album.” Says lead vocalist, Matt McAndrew and the new single |

About Rain City Drive: Rain City Drive is pushing their own musical boundaries. The Palm Coast band is building on their post-hardcore roots while boldly breaking into the realm of contemporary pop rock. With a mix of heavy riffs, soaring vocals, and poetic lyrics, Rain City Drive’s sound is a sonic blend of raw power and intimate emotion. Formed in 2020, the members of Rain City Drive first came together when lead singer Matt McAndrew met guitarists Felipe Sanchez and Weston Richmond, bassist Colin Vieira, and drummer Zack Baker in Manchester, England. Thrown together by a twist of touring fate, the group of five immediately gelled into a cohesive band with a powerful sound. Far from their base in Palm Coast, Florida, Manchester’s rainy backdrop would go on to inspire the band’s name. Their self-titled record garnered major recognition, with songs in rotation on SiriusXM Octane. Their single, “Cutting It Close” landed at #5 on Sirius Octane’s Big Uns. RCD racked in playlist placements on New Noise, All New Rock, The Core, Hard Rock, Pop Punk’s Not Dead, The Pit, Volume Maximo. Rain City Drive backs up their electrifying live show with extensive touring experience. The band has played alongside acts such as Set It Off, From Ashes To New, and Memphis May Fire. They’ve been featured on festivals including Louder Than Life, Swan Fest and Aftershock and have supported Our Last Night on The Welcome Back Tour. Overseas, RCD went back to their Manchester meeting place while on a UK run accompanying Dance Gavin Dance and Eidola. RCD has no intention of slowing down as they make their way through 2024 gearing up for highly-anticipated new releases. Fans are now following the band into their next musical venture with “Medicate Me,” a track that showcases RCD’s perfect blend of heavy-melodies and an electrifying pop sound. “With each release, we like to stretch out a little bit, filling in more of our vision while staying true to our roots… We’re always trying to go into uncharted territories, and our upcoming record is a reflection of that,” says McAndrew of Rain City Drive’s upcoming release. Rain City Drive’s forthcoming album will be released in 2024 by Thriller Records. Hear RCD’s new single, “Medicate Me,” out now.
