Coming from Palm Coast, Florida, alternative rock band Rain City Drive releases their brand new album, 'Things Are Different Now,' via Thriller Records. Rain City Drive composes of members Matt McAndrew (vocals), Felipe Sanchez (guitar), Weston Richmond (guitar), Colin Vieira (bass) and Zack Baker (drums). Following their critically acclaimed release, this recent release has shown the growth and huge milestone this band has accomplished. Their sound has evolved lyrically and instrumentally since their last album 'To Better Days'. The band has just released a brand new music video from the album titled "Wish You The Best".
The new track "Things Are Different Now" demonstrates the huge turn out and evolution for Rain City Drive. Compared to previous releases this band has given fans, you can definitely hear the vocal and instrumental change this album has to offer. Not going to lie, I could not be anymore happy about it! Change is amazing when needed. This album has brought me to absolute tears since hearing it. McAndrew's vocals are absolutely to die for and I can guarantee fans are even as excited as I am for this new phase of the band.

"Wish You The Best" captures the inner struggle of love that has left your life. Moving forward within those circumstances is often very difficult as you are faced with obstacles with feeling pain. Its emotional depth is complemented by dynamic production that blends captivating vocals with enchanting soundscapes, creating both a cathartic anthem and a poignant confession. Fans are able to stream the music video below.
As stated by vocalist Matt McAndrew in an interview about the song "Sometimes when people break up they say things like ‘I wish you the best’, but really they mean ‘f*** you’. I was seeing someone on and off and we kept saying it to each other. I don’t think either of us actually meant it.”
