Little information about Direct Drive other than the fact that it is an English group formed in 1982 and originally composed of Mick Ward, Pete Quinton, Bob Williams and Bones.
Group which will remain mainly in the musical history of the end of the 20th century for the high caliber Single “Anything” which will be released in 1985.
For this reason alone we had to dedicate this article to them.
To discover or rediscover...
