Drive There Now are a 4-piece Indie Rock band from Manchester, UK. They fuse Alternative Rock and Indie to create upbeat and uplifting songs. Drive there now started in the summer of '09 as an acoustic two peice, with just Lee and Anthony. They decided that the songs they were writing though needed more... So they started looking for band members to fill in the gaps. At this time two of their close friends, Ben & Oliver's band split up leaving them bandless. This unfortunate event was great for DTN because they needed a bass player and a drummer.

The band is comprised of Mick Pyro (vocals), Brez (guitar), Dave Pyro (guitar), Benjamin Loose (bass), Andres (drums), and Deco (keyboards). Republic of Loose are a Dublin-based band who have broken the seal of the usual run-of-the-mill Irish singer/songwriter act.

Blasting onto the the music scene through the help of Phantom FM with "Hold Up!," The Loose gained the foundation of a firm fanbase. With the gospel-like vocals and back-to-basics funk, the lads sell out venues such as The Ambassador, The Village, and The Stables.

Smith (Chris Palladino). Recently, Sufjan Stevens has joined the band as an adopted member of the family, playing banjo on the album Brother Is to Son and touring with them when possible.
