When Sugar Red Drive’s sophomore album, A Story of Signs dropped in my lap I was surprised to discover they hail from Poughkeepsie, New York. My entire family grew up there, so there came an immediate hopefulness that the band would live up to the feel good nature of my childhood memories. Before I even slid the disc in the player I discovered not one, but two of rock’s most talented songwriter/producers had a hand in helping with this record.
Brian Howes (Halestorm, Hinder, Rev Theory, Puddle of Mudd) wrote and produced the album’s lead-off single, “No Apologies”. The remainder of the album was produced by Skidd Mills (Saving Abel, Sick Puppies, Saliva, 12 Stones) who just finished Egypt Central’s explosive new album, White Rabbit.
