"Concrete Closure" is the band's final song release before their approaching album "Things Are Different Now" out September 27th. Vocalist **Matt McAndrew** – who was a finalist on Season 7 of the popular TV show, **The Voice**, had this to say about the meaning behind the band's new single: > *"Concrete Closure aims to capture the frustration of ending a relationship with someone who, under the pretense of seeking closure, is merely trying to prolong the breakup and find a way back into your life. Even when it’s clear that the chapter needs to be closed for good.”* Forming in 2020, Rain City Drive is a 5-piece alt-rock outfit out of Florida. They are constantly pushing their musical boundaries, with post-hardcore origins that have evolved to include the sounds of pop-influenced rock and alternative rock.
