THE iNSPiRED ROCK SOUND OF RADiO DRiVE AND THEiR NEW RELEASE THiS iS OUR TiME  APRIL
30, 2012 - KEVIN
GULLICKSON’s decision to keep the cool moniker of his newly
disbanded group RADIO DRIVE when he launched his solo career in 2009
proved to be prophetic. Forging an uplifting, sonically eclectic vibe
best described as “motivational rock,” the prolific
singer/songwriter’s first three releases—DREAM THE IMPOSSIBLE (2009), LIFE TODAY
(2010) and I CAN SEE THE WORLD FROM HERE—received
impressive reviews around the globe and extensive airplay on online,
college and indie stations in the U.S., Canada and Europe. LIFE
TODAY also hit the Top
40 charts on CJSW Radio in Calgary, Canada. Expanding his rich
palette of sounds even further, GULLICKSON’s latest RADIO DRIVE
project finds the multi-talented artist firmly declaring that THIS IS OUR TIME. Readily apparent on this
ambitious recording is
GULLICKSON’s clever way with encouraging, inspiring words. On the
bluesy electric rocker “BORDERS,” he urges listeners to “Let
your imagination take you far away/Beyond the confines of your only
mind…Beyond the Borders you define.” On the trippy and hypnotic
edgy pop tune “LIFE IS FOR LIVING,” Gullickson sings, “You
planned and prepared for this day/Tired of Being A Spectator, it’s
time to play…Life is For Living…Get your game on and
participate.” And on the shuffling, keyboard and guitar driven “NEW
DIRECTION” (a piece very much inspired by John Lennon), he
reflects, “Every Year, every step, needs a new beginning.” The
singer captures the overall positive minded theme of the album on the
hard driving title track: “This is our time to come alive inside/Do
more than survive/Time to thrive.”

LUSH holds a BA in Creative Writing from the UNIVERSITY OF
NEW MEXICO. He established ROCKWIRED on New Years of 2004 and hasn't
looked back
since. He is currently the host of all of ROCKWIRED.COM's programming
which includes such shows as ROCKWIRED RADIO PROFILES and ROCKWIRED
FREE FORM RADIO. As
program producer for ROCKWiRED.COM, LUSH is hands-on when it
comes to
interviewing and building a lasting rapport with the artists that come
ROCKWiRED's
way. As a youngster, BRIAN LUSH had no idea what kind of seed was being
planted
by reading magazines such as HIT PARADE, HIGH TIMES, SPIN, REQUEST
(remember
that one?) and even ROLLING STONE. "Those were the days before the
internet and being a rock journalist
looked
like the coolest job imaginable." says LUSH "But reading these
magazines had me
imagining that one day I'd be the artist giving all of the clever
answers to
some poor guy with a tape recorder. Well, life has a way of surprising
you.
Now, I'm the poor guy with the tape recorder and asking all of the
questions."CONTACT
