Album Notes

Ben Park Drive. Is it a place? A Philosophy? Maybe both. Undeniably, it represents rock music packed with soaring melodies and emotion. Songs that upon first listen will grab you and not let go.

Ben Park Drive enlisted the guidance of industry veteran Ken Lewis (David Byrne, Public Enemy, Mariah Carey) to produce the album. Ken set out to help the band realize their musical vision and began a long process of writing, pre-production and revision. Ken says "I wouldn't let the band go into the studio for 8 months. They were impatient, but every time we got together or they would send me a new song, I saw such tremendous growth. I knew what this album could sound like long before they did, and I wanted to give them time to develop and grow as writers and performers. The finished album far exceeded even my lofty expectations. I think this is a hit waiting to happen."


Ben Park Drive has performed at festivals and venues in Washington, Texas and Florida. Their album was recorded in Nashville and mixed in New York City. What the future holds for this band cannot be predicted but one thing is certain...... "Signs are Everywhere".

The debut record, Signs Are Everywhere, from the Colorado based female led rock group, Ben Park Drive, continues the tradition of huge, heavy rock ballads.....great sounding record with few distractions on the production end. This allows BPD to showcase their true talents.....Their big hit is clearly "2nd Mile" which begins with smooth melodies leading into a moving big chorus that will haunt your dreams.
