(Tiscali Showcase)
Unlike your average band, Scottish five-piece 'Drive-By Argument' does not consist of old childhood friends. In fact, their names were drawn out of a hat during their first months at university, with the object to put together project bands for their music course. 'Drive-By Argument' did not know each other when they met up for their first rehearsal in October 2004. At this point the only thing they had in common was the fact that they all thought their fellow band members looked like idiots. However, as soon as they started playing together, something clicked and the band realised 'Drive-By Argument' was to become much more than just a project.

Had it not been for the fact that all five were blessed with the divine gift of compromise, the five very different personalities, with equally different musical backgrounds, would have never been compatible. With influences ranging from The Faint, The Cure, My Bloody Valentine to Kylie Minogue and beyond, 'Drive-By Argument' quickly found their music being described as 'emotronica,' 'dancetastica,' 'indie disco' or, as they describe themselves 'four to the floor unhappy hardcore.'
