The Drama Club

The Drama Club’s lead singer and primary composer Nick Coyle is widely acknowledged as one gifted “angelic” vocalist and has inspired many songwriters. The Drama Club is no stranger to the challenges and triumphs of building a musical career, various members have been involved with successful label/touring projects. In 2005, Coyle teamed up with guitarist/vocalist Nate Bevan (formerly of hardcore band Stalemate), but just recently finalized the line-up after going through various member commotions. The band finalized members after picking key players out of the regions best bands to form this “super group”.

Producer Rob Caggiano, famous for his work with Anthrax/Jesse Malin heard some of the bands early demos and immediately flew out to Pennsylvania to see the band live and eventually produce the band along with Jay Baumgardner (Evanescence/Papa Roach/Godsmack) mixing the records.

An exceptional live band, The Drama Club stand among the top “draws” in their region and have become increasingly more popular after continuous regional touring and being a promotional machine for themselves. The result is shows that regularly sell out, a web site that gets hundreds of hits a week, and a dedicated fan base. All of this DIY promotion started the enormous word-of-mouth phenomenon on The Drama Club.

Over the past year the band has shared the stage numerous times with hometown friends/former bandmates Breaking Benjamin, as well as with Velvet Revolver, Hoobastank, Flyleaf, Silvertide, and many others including a 30 date N.E. tour which included a stop at the Warped tour in their hometown. The band has been featured many times on their hometown radio stations 97X, and WZZO, as well as Metal Edge Magazine (June 2007), Purevolume.com, Puregrainaudio.com, Origivation, and other regional press. “The Drama Club is one of the most requested bands we play on 97.9X “Underground”, amazing music and very dynamic captivating frontman - Zoey 97X (WBSX, Scranton, PA).

With music that defies categorization and innate pop instincts, The Drama Club have been writing songs they describe as “boundless” and “timeless”. The Drama Club find inspiration from a wide range of sounds from the 60’s to the present. “From the very beginning, we had always had a vision of what we wanted,” Coyle says. “anthemic”, “ethereal”, pretentious, spectacle – We want to have songs and a show that many generations of people can get into.” The Drama Club’s love for big chorus rock songs comes through on everything from the pop rock favorite “Company For The Lonely” the straight ahead rocker “November”, to the ballad “Brand New Day”.

Now, all of the hard work and the years of hoping and dreaming are ready to pay off. Hardened by tough breaks and lineup changes have made the “drama” well worth the trip.

Argument

When it comes to the music business these days it seems that second chances are hard to come by and when they do happen you better make the most of it. This is the case for Nick Coyle, the lead singer of The Drama Club. His first venture to the top with his former band Lifer was a short lived success and defiantly a learning experience. Now with a new band and on the verge of releasing the bands second EP it seems as if Nick is where he should have been all along.

Nick and the self proclaimed Pennsylvania “super group” have developed a huge following and more importantly have a devoted fan base that is continually growing. The Drama Club is consistently selling out 500 to 600 seat venues in and around their home town of Wilkes-Barre/Scranton, PA. This has translated into radio air play in the region with the band becoming one of the most requests independent acts around.

The Drama Club also possess a relentless DIY attitude that has translated into success in the form of their 2005 EP “Greatest Hits” which has sold over 3,000 units. The bands dedicated fan base on myspace has grown to 20,000 strong and the band averages 3,000 plays a day.


Possible Labels

I don’t think it would be too far fetched to see Hollywood Records being interested in The Drama Club considering their close relationship with Breaking Benjamin. The only downfall to Hollywood Records would be that the label is traditionally a pop label who has only recently decided to expand their rock acts.

Another viable option for The Drama Club would be Trustkill Records. The band is currently represented by Robert Dippold who is also Trustkill Records General Manager. This would be a good fit for the band since the label seems to have its ear to the ground and is snapping up some nice up and coming bands like City Sleeps.
