Waverly Drive Have Released Their New EP ‘Push My Luck’

Waverly Drive is the solo project of Phil Galloni, a studio engineer/producer and multi-instrumentalist. His third EP, Push My Luck, is out now and is an uptempo follow-up to the more muted, mid-tempo previous EP. The driving tracks explore the themes of love, trust, loss, and twin flames through the lens of escapism and surrealism.

Several studio musicians contributed to the 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).

The Chicago native who has been running Voltiv Sound (Los Angeles, est. 2015) released the debut EP, Living in a Fantasy, in Nov 2022 and the follow-up EP, Now I Know, in July 2023. The music evokes some of the musician’s influences in the indie rock, new wave, indie pop, and electro-pop realm and is perfect for driving up the cost, daydreaming, and learning to escape the absurdities of life.

As sole proprietor at Voltiv Sound, Phil has worked with countless musicians/bands, including: Magic Wands, Monica Martin, Cassidy Place, Family Company, DPR Cream, D’Arcy, Joe Sumner, Hey Boy and many others. Phil has been written up for his work in publications including The Line of Best Fit, The 405, Clash Magazine, Deli Magazine, Post Punk, Good Music Radar, We Write About Music and more for his work as a solo musician and producer/engineer for others.
