Exclusive track premiere of ‘Push My Luck’ by Waverly Drive, taken from the upcoming EP, ‘Push My Luck,’ out May 10, 2024.

Waverly Drive stands as the brainchild of Phil Galloni, a versatile studio engineer, producer, and instrumentalist. Hailing from Chicago, Galloni, who helms Voltiv Sound in Los Angeles since its establishment in 2015, unveiled his inaugural EP, ‘Living in a Fantasy,’ in November 2022, followed by the subsequent release ‘Now I Know’ in July 2023. Drawing inspiration from indie rock, new wave, indie pop, and electro pop, his music offers a soundtrack for coastal drives, daydreaming, and navigating life’s eccentricities.

The third EP ‘Push My Luck’ is an uptempo follow-up to the more muted, mid-tempo previous EP. The driving tracks explore the themes of love, trust, loss, twin flames, through the lens of escapism and surrealism.

Phil says, “Push My Luck sort of speaks for itself… the song is about pushing your luck too far, especially with a significant other, and coming to regret it. We often show not only our best sides to our significant others, but also our worst, and this song explores that paradox with the gut hope that it will still work out in the end regardless because of the bond of love.”

Several studio musicians contributed to third EP, including Chris Valentine (Magic Wands), Alex Kyhn (Macy Gray, Family Company), Russ Mitkowski (The Weeknd), Kathrene Gawel (True Vacation), and Gadiel Mencia. Songs written/recorded/mixed by Phil Galloni. Mastered by John Greenham (Billie Eilish, Lady Gaga, Angelè)
