Artist: Strive
Album Name: Fire
Label: GoDigital Records
Comments: Strive has been touring all over the world and the song Smallest Things has been getting radio spins in 55 different countries. With the piano-style of modern rock music becoming a growing trend in recent years, Strive’s latest album Fire has taken off quickly. Singer/pianist Derick Thompson says this about wanting to reach the world “For us, it’s not a win to be successful only in the U.S. We’d like to see ourselves successful in places like Brazil and New Zealand and Uganda.” Strive is being described as a mix of U2 and Switchfoot but yet add in some sounds Billy Joel and Bruce Hornsby. It's not your typical release these days and I think it’s always good to try something different so I would suggest giving them a listen.
Notes: Similar to The Fray and U2, Strive is fresh and gives you some great lyrics along with awesome vocals.
Style: Piano/Pop
