Undoubtedly, one of the biggest new bands of the year; Cover Drive, follow up their smash hit debut single with hot new track Twilight, which is released through Polydor Records on 22nd January. Barbados’ latest exports return with a blend of their Caribbean sunshine-drenched musical roots and an infectious pop hook. A definitive ‘carib-pop’ tune that showcases the distinctive vocals of both Amanda and T-Ray and the diversity of the band’s offerings, Twilight is set to be another huge hit for the group.
The fresh-faced group consists of singer/ songwriter Amanda Reifer (20); guitarist Barry "Bar-Man" Hill (22); bassist Jamar "Toast" Harding (18) and drummer/vocalist T-Ray Armstrong (18).
Their debut single Lick Ya Down, released in August, was a massive summer hit, rocketing straight into the top 10 of the UK charts. Discovered on the back of their acoustic Fedora sessions on You Tube, Cover Drive were signed after releasing just one video. Now splitting their time between Barbados and London, they have already accumulated a huge following which includes celebrities such as The Saturdays, Olly Murs and Chipmunk. Fellow islander, Rihanna was introduced to the group by her cousin who showed her their Fedora sessions on the internet. She then selected the guys to open for her at the Barbados leg of her recent ‘LOUD’ tour where they played to over 25,000 people.
