Manic Drive
Epic
Grade- A+
Something that is epic is something that is amazing, huge, or incredible. A perfect title to Manic Drive’s fourth CD! They present a fantastic message, displaying that we can have fun and rock out, all the while being beacons for Christ. With each CD they push themselves more, and with each CD they give their fans something fresh and radical.
Together, Canadian natives Shawn Cavallo, Keith Comer, and Michael Cavallo form explosive new sound. This trio blends different styles of music to form a high-energy, fresh, and very compelling sound.
Epic is mainly about getting up and living our faith radically. It reminds us that Christianity shouldn’t be a dull and bland faith. Michael Cavallo says, “This is an unprecedented time in history and we are all tired of the stale and mindless. A genuine experience with God is paramount to walking out this life of faith. So many people feel useless or out of place, but we are here to say that we as a generation can shake the world in amazing ways… even through the smallest actions.”
The song “Halo” is an energetic mix of rock, dance, and a touch of hip hop. “I rock my halo” is the main lyrical line that is repeated for the chorus. It’s about how we shouldn’t hide what God’s done with our life, and our “halos” should be a light in the darkness.
“Save A Life” is a challenging song, it challenges listeners in their faith. Lines such as, “It all just seems to change, when you see it as a life to save”, paint a powerful reminder that Jesus is in the life saving business. If Jesus is in the life saving business, and we are his hands and feet, we should be also.
Way to keep living epically Manic Drive!
