WAVERLY DRIVE – “AFTER THE SHOW”
A SPILL EXCLUSIVE MUSIC PREMIERE
“After The Show” is a song inspired by the communal activity of going to shows with friends, significant others, etc, and how it brings us together. How shows can bring us together, elevate our energy and mood. The song explores a relationship falling out and is about making up after the show.”
The 3rd EP “Push My Luck”, due out May 10, 2024, is an uptempo follow-up to the more muted midtempo EP2. The driving tracks explore the themes of love, trust, loss, twin flames, through the lens of escapism and a yearning nostalgia. The studio was recorded in Los Angeles at Voltiv Sound, and was written, engineered, mixed by Phil Galloni. Several studio musicians contributed to third EP, including Chris Valentine on guitar (Magic Wands), Alex Kyhn on bass (Macy Gray, Family Company), Russ Mitkowski on drums (French Montana, The Weeknd) and Kathrene Gawel on backing vocals (True Vacation). Mastered by John Greenham (Billie Eilish, Lady Gaga, Angelè).
Waverly Drive is the solo project of Phil Galloni, a studio engineer/producer and multi-instrumentalist. The Chicago native who has been running Voltiv Sound (Los Angeles, est. 2015) released the debut EP “Living in a Fantasy” in Nov 2022 and follow-up EP2 “Now I Know” in July 2023. The music evokes some of the musician’s influences in the indie rock, new wave, indie pop, and electro pop realms, and is perfect for a drive up the cost, daydreaming, and learning to escape the absurdities of life.
Phil has been written up for his work in publications including The Line of Best Fit, The 405, Clash Magazine, Deli Magazine, Post Punk, Good Music Radar, We Write About Music, and more for his work as a solo musician and producer/engineer for others. During his time as sole proprietor at Voltiv Sound, Phil has worked with countless musicians/bands, including: Magic Wands, Monica Martin, Cassidy Place, Family Company, DPR Cream, D’Arcy, Joe Sumner, Hey Boy, and many others.
