Hour Past has been with us from the start. Their 2007 Debut release "A Vacant Smile" sold in upwards of 3,500 units with minimal radio support. A brilliant CD in it's own right, it was and still is an underground sensation that continues to gain new fans by the week.

The new CD "Drift" has many of the same musical influences you loved from "A Vacant Smile" but with more of a heavier edge to it. The lead single "Insomnia" charges at you with a full hard rock assault, only to be followed up with track 2 "Drift" a cleaner moodier offering that reminds you of why these guys are considered by many to be so unique. With powerful vocals, solid musicianship, and hypnotic overtones "Drift" brings all the passion and power that Hour Past is known for.

Check out the pre order packages that include an exclusive fan pack which includes "Drift, "A Vacant Smile", 11 X17, 2009 tour poster, and a 4 song bootleg disc that features, Someday, Faulter, Ignorance, and Sinister (original demo version)

* DRIFT was Recorded / Produced by John Wyman & Mastered by Dan Workman (Beyonce/ZZTop/Smashmouth/Lyle Lovett)

Catch Hour Past this weekend with Staind, Shinedown, and Chevelle at the Meadowbrook US Cellular Pavilion in Gilford NH and again on August 9th with 3 Doors Down and Craving Lucy!
