Description

Formed in Dundee in the early days of 1977 The Drive were one of the first Scottish punk bands and the first to release a single. Debatable whether punk is the right word with lead & slide guitar featured and not exactly punky tunes. The single Jerkin’ / Push & Shove (NRG Records 1977) joins the list of bawdy sexual punk tunes, though not as gross or rough as The Pork Dukes, and set to more glammy, Dollsey, stonesy kinda riffs. Released without the picture sleeve. Jerkin’ also featured on the Streets compilation. Interestingly their next proposed single – Blow Job / Gonorrhoea Go-Go – continued the sexual theme but was never released.
