Drive Away Released

DRIVE WAY now STREAMING in both the band version AND a solo acoustic version that I (MB) did in studio in Brooklyn last year. The song that started it all for the Two Mikes of Diver Through is now officially released on streaming (finally). Originally performed and recorded under the band name Haven circa 2000, Drive Away was played on 93.3 Planet Radio and appeared on their Native Noise 2 CD compilation. It gained the band a lot of attention for their live shows and with record labels. While the band recorded a lot of demos they never made an official record and therefore the song was never officially released. In anticipation of the NEW Diver Through EP this fall we thought it would be fun to finally release this bit of nostalgia for those who know the song, and something new for everyone else.

STUDIO VERSION full credits:

-Mikey Clams, Bass

-Michael Baynes, Vocals/Guitar

-Dillon Chansen, Guitar

-Robert Orndorff, Drums

-Recorded and mixed by the late Pete Thornton (1999/2000)

-Championed by DJ Flounder on Planet Radio, who played it on his Native Noise local band program every week for a year and pushed for it to be on the CD and for it to be an official “add” on commercial radio.

-Written by Michael Baynes (BMI). Words heavily influenced/borrowed by a Richard Ford short story.

-Concert poster on the cover icon is a Kendrick Kidd original from an actual show. He was not only in the band (from time to time and in a pinch) but he did all of the posters, flyers, and my tattoos, DT art AND the upcoming vinyl artwork for the new DT release.

ACOUSTIC VERSION is just me and my Epiphone Cortez acoustic at Vinegar Hill Sound in Brooklyn, NYC with Reed Black engineering and one really old vintage microphone. September 2025.

Thanks to the amazing people at Subluna Records for making this happen. #diverthrough #altrock #iwanttobedisrupted

LISTEN TO DRIVE AWAY

Happy 20 Years Subluna Records

In 2003, Subluna Records was born.  We weren’t making major label music and we weren’t listening to it either.  We took inspiration from the indie bands that we loved on little indie labels that allowed you to discover new music directly with the people who made it.  Each label had its own style of music and its own rules.  You knew it wasn’t big business but a labor of love to make sure cool music could cut through.  Our goal was to do the same thing - to make cool music with our friends - and I’m happy to say that 20 years later the same friends are still together making and releasing music.  MB
