Overdrive

Overdrive is a high energy, hit playing, hard hitting, spirit lifting band from all around the Raleigh area. Our goal is to make you either dance or sing. Most times both! We play songs that you dont hear all the time and that aren't played to death! We specialize in 90's hard rock & grunge including songs from Radiohead to Alice in Chains. Our set also features a bunch of pop, 80's, punk and 2000's hard rock. When people here our songs they go "Oh shit! this is my jam!!!" We aim to please! We love music and love conveying that feeling to the audience!

For a 3 hour show, expect at least 30 - 35 songs! Most times we'll play over the alloted time if the crowd is pumpin!!!
