Original Band with 5 guys. They are young and look great on stage. These guys have a tight sound and react well to each other while playing. there are a few things they need to work on such as having an extra mic for Louis to talk to the crowd easier and the lead singer needs to talk to the crowd more. I was a little shady on seeing a punk band but these guys know how to write a killer song. They should open for the Cherry Pops or maybe the other way around. These bunch of kids are that good. I can't wait to see them again and take some pics. They caught my attention right away. (These guys Rock if you get a chance check them out, you won't be disappointed at all. - Milwaukee Metal
This band is very young. This band consists of 5 guys. They do all original and they ROCK. The lead vocalist Peter has a very well developed voice. He sounded really good. Peter knows that he is the front man for the band and shows it, this is a very good quality to have in a singer. The crowd really got into this band. The bass player kept everything nice and tight. He didn’t move around really at all though. Don’t just stand there man do something. Lewis one of the guitar players played phenomenally but he also had very minimal movement. I was pleased to see that he was given a microphone this time so we could all hear his witty comments! The other guitar player was really getting into the music and was fun to watch. I also thought it was a great idea to have their logo on all of the guitars, this showed band unity which I liked a lot. The drummer Timmy was great. He kept the band together when the beat had to go from super fast to slow and vise-versa. He also has that bitchen Mohawk that we all love so much. He is amazing to watch behind the drums. It was huge to see the crowd get into the whole show and stay with it. I don’t think there was an unsatisfied person at this show.
The only thing these guys need is more exposure and maybe a different sound guy on the board. Other than that keep rockin guys!
There was a lot of improvement from these guys as a band since the last time I saw them. It can only get better for Dead End Drive. Any time they have a show I am so there. I can't wait for them to start recording so I can get a CD. If you get a chance go and see Dead End Drive, do it.... they ROCK.

Bio
Dead End Drive hails from West Allis, WI, where all members went to (are going to) West Allis Central High School. Late in the school year of 2003 (Peter and Louis's junior year) Louis wanted to start a band. He soon learned that long time friend- Peter Wagner could sing, and that's where it all started. After going through different guitarists, they landed Tony Merkel on lead, and Louis became rythym. Through trial and error with drummers, Tim Burns finally turned out to be just what the band needed, bringing a punk flare to the music. The Band was almost complete, but needed a Bassist. Louis called former drummer Mike Stoffers (who had played Bass for Local West Allis Band A-Stim formaly known as Auditory Stimulation). Mike was glad to rejoin the Band as the Bass player and the Band was Complete.
What sets us apart from other bands is that we do not follow any one genre of music, we have an original sound that incorporates all of our members' styles.
Many different styles of influence within the band
such as: Blink 182, Incubus, Thursday, Mudvayne, Fall Out Boy, Letter Kills, Funeral For a Friend, Simple Plan, New Found Glory,
The list goes on
