@wlvslwr @m_millsey Awesome! I’d love to experience that!

Check out Driver 8 guitarist Eric Lanning playing “Radio Free Europe” by R.E.M. 🎸

One of those early R.E.M. songs that still sounds incredible live. Eric nails the guitar work and captures that raw energy perfectly.

Take a listen! 👊

A little Driver 8 rehearsal sneak peek.

One of R.E.M.’s hidden gems:
“Life And How To Live It.”

We’re dialing it in.

[Driver 8 @Driver8remband]

I always roll my eyes when another band posts... “HUGE NEWS COMING SOON!” Seriously. Just spit it out already. . .

Well, against our better judgment...Driver 8: The Music Of REM have decided to become those people.

🚨 HUGE NEWS COMING SOON!! 🚨

[Driver 8 @Driver8remband]

Rehearsal!

“Life And How To Live It”

If you dig this, like, share, and leave a comment.

That is THE BEST way to help us out as a band!

Sad to share we won’t be opening for Without U2 at Hobart Art Theatre on March 6.

Their singer is battling vertigo (everything he wished he didn’t know), and the decision was made not to move forward with Driver 8 alone.

We’ll be back later this year. Stay tuned.

[Driver 8 @Driver8remband]

This is the one everyone will be talking about.

Losing My Religion wasn’t working on guitar. 5 minutes later, Quentin locked into the intro n mandolin. If you think this clip is wild, wait till it’s live. March 6 • Hobart Art Theatre opening for Chicago’s own Without U2. Don’t miss it! You’re gonna want the bragging rights!

Merry Christmas, Everyone!

Hope you all have a wonderful holiday filled with love and light.

Keyboardist Mark Turney dives deep into the exact sounds and textures of R.E.M. live, recreating them with precision while adding vocal harmonies to capture the feel of an authentic R.E.M. live performance in all its detail and spirit.

Quentin Lintz is the guitarist for Driver 8, bringing a distinctive mix of texture, melody, and alternative-rock sensibility to the lineup. His playing blends rhythmic clarity with atmospheric tones that complement the band’s tribute to R.E.M.’s timeless sound.

[Driver 8 @Driver8remband]

Introducing Gary Atkins. Gary holds down the bass and vocals for Driver 8 and he brings it like it still matters. He even hunted down and plays the same bass as Mike Mills, delivering that unmistakable snap and low end that helped define a generation.

It’s time to rebuild. I loved this band and meeting fans of R.E.M. and sharing your nostalgia. Looking for guys who can emulate the sound of R.E.M., lean into the aesthetic, practice at home and rehearse together! #90s #tribute #collegerock #fypage #fyp #remband #rem
