Spiral Drive
Swirly trips & dirty riffs: Spiral Drive play space rock with an unmistaken energy. The project of songwriter and producer Raphael Neikes shows how memorable, hypnotizing and iridescently psych soaked music can sound. The project first appeared in february 2018 with the so called “Space Pirates Session”, an all the way live performed, recorded and self-produced ep. The release displays the bands foundation as highly skilled live musicians accompanied by a wide range of various psychedelic styles. Earning a promising reputation in the international scene Spiral Drive began playing festivals and opening shows for acts such as the „Vintage Caravan“ and „Mother’s Cake“.
