A New York band that started in the mid-90s and kept recording through lineup changes and shifting sounds.
For a sense of their range, try 'Stop On The Rock Station' next to something like 'The World Needs Love'. They're not the same band in those two songs, but they're both William Drake.
Their 1995 single 'Stop On The Rock Station' got radio play and gave them a foothold, but the catalog goes deeper than that one hit. Songs like 'Claim My Throne' and 'Where's The Heaven' show a band that could pivot between arena-ready rock and more reflective material. They kept putting out albums even after guitarist Ethan Grant left, which says something about their persistence.
They formed in New York City in the mid-90s and released their debut 'Echoes of the Past' in 1995. After Grant's departure, William Drake continued as the main creative force, putting out albums like 'Phoenix Rising' in 2002 and 'Redemption' in 2006. Their last listed album was 'Legacy' in 2010.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
