“ They played short, wild bursts of noise punctuated by frontman Carter Crough, dressed in white overalls and a gold lamée mask,  weaving, bobbing and rolling around on the stage while howling like the tormented ghost of a tortured serial killer.” – Richard Amery, L.a. Beat

Gritty noise punk with a catchy backbeat. Highly aggressive, highly distorted, very good. – Dave host of Contramandatumon CJSW 90.9 FM

#6 Year end list – Sonikraf

DRI HIEV is a Calgary noise quartet specializing in creating disorienting music with one foot in modern electronic music and the other in aggressive punk rock.

Three out of four members (Dan Auger, Carter Crough, and Kyle Crough) originally played in Bloody Circuits from Grande Prairie, Alberta, but upon relocating to Calgary they recruited Igor Gvozdenovic and became DRI HIEV. Their live show demands your attention with all members creating a wall of noise while maintaining a steady driving electronic sample to get people moving.

They are going to be touring across Canada with fellow noise enthusiasts Feverfew. DRI HIEV are also releasing their EP CONTRAVIRTUAL on cassette through Shake! Records and Bunghole Records on September 23, 2015.
