Something More Than Rock

Remedy Drive is bringing its message of hope to Rapid City this weekend. And the band wants to know if you are ready to hear it.

“We are four guys that are searching for truth,” said David Zach. “What we have arrived at is an album with a message of hope.

“People need to just enjoy themselves for an hour, to get away from the broken economy, natural disaster, mortgages — to leave with a massive momentum in their lives that no matter what is happening in their lives, there is hope.”

Remedy Drive is four brothers from Lincoln, Neb. — David, Paul, Philip and Daniel Zach — who have hit the big time this year with a record deal. But they’ve been at this for a while, making music rather than watching TV as they were growing up, and turning that energy into a band that has been touring for 200 shows a year for the past five years. They have been playing at churches, youth rallies, college campuses and festivals. Now, they are touring and promoting their fourth album, “Daylight Is Coming.”

What’s different now that they have a record deal?

“There’s a real celebratory sprit from our fans who have been there for the long haul,” David Zach said. “They are celebrating for us, and we feel that energy about what is to come.”

Their music is unmistakably rock, with heavy piano, harmonies created from brothers’ voices and lyrics taking direct aim at what’s real and lasting, where real hope is found: “Darkness must precede the dawn; wait with me here till the sunrise; wait, your night will soon fade out; daylight is coming.”
