Blue Star Drive is a rock quartet originally based out of South Orange. Formed in late 2001, Blue Star Drive’s singer Lou Panico and bassist Mike Padilla found themselves together with the same intentions, to enjoy music. After a benefit show for September 11th victims, Blue Star Drive met up with Jason Padilla and created a band called “Distant Second�. This fantastic trio of cover songs and local shows quickly led to the addition of another guitarist. With Brendan Root now on guitar, and the creation of “Blue Star Drive� that we have all grown to know and love, Blue Star Drive has become well known on Genco Records and have released their debut EP ‘Sealed With A Kiss’ (released October 11th 2003). With influences ranging from Jimi Hendrix, Nirvana, and Saves the Day (to name a few), Blue Star Drive has created a unique blend of rock that will pleasure the ears of many to come.
