On the new single, vocalist Matt McAndrew comments:
”’Concrete Closure’ aims to capture the frustration of ending a relationship with someone who, under the pretence of seeking closure, is merely trying to prolong the breakup and find a way back into your life. Even when it’s clear that the chapter needs to be closed for good.”

‘Concrete Closure’, an upbeat rock anthem that dives into the unresolved tensions of a relationship that truly never ends. This energetic track vividly portrays the tension of seeking closure from someone who insists on keeping the connection alive, even when the relationship seems over. It speaks directly to those who have grappled with the ambiguity of a relationship that refuses to completely close, despite one party’s desire for finality. ‘Concrete Closure’ encapsulates Rain City Drive’s unique ability to blend poignant lyrics with driving, infectious melodies, solidifying their fresh, dynamic sound.

About RAIN CITY DRIVE:

RAIN CITY DRIVE are pushing their own musical boundaries. The Palm Coast band is building on its 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 inspire the band’s name.

RAIN CITY DRIVE, also known as RCD, has amassed over 100M streams in the US, 150M worldwide, and over 900K monthly listeners on Spotify. Their songs ‘Talk to a Friend’ and ‘Heavier’, from the 2020 album To Better Days, have garnered 100 million streams. The band pushed their sonic output even further with their 2022 self-titled album, Rain City Drive. “We wanted to expand the umbrella we created within To Better Days, whether to explore our poppier side or dive into different lyrical themes.”

Their self-titled record garnered significant 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, New Rock, The Core, Hard Rock, Pop Punk’s Not Dead, The Pit, and Volume Maximo.

Fans are following the band into their next musical venture with ‘Medicate Me’, a track showcasing RCD’s perfect blend of heavy melodies and an electrifying pop sound. “With each release, we stretch out a 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 reflects that,” says McAndrew of RAIN CITY DRIVE‘s upcoming release.
