Night Driving in Small Towns are land dwellers. Having moved from small south Georgia towns to the city of Atlanta in 2008, the band has seen its share of topography. So has their music. Having navigated the spaces between artsy folk pop and brazen indie rock, their sound is sometimes gutsy, sometimes reserved, but always premeditated.
The group’s musical content originates from the songwriting duo of Andrea Rogers and Colby Wright. The two have written together for almost a decade, getting their craft down to a weird science in the process. Wright provides a lush musical backdrop for Rogers’s intimate lyrics, an amalgamation that has been described as a “potent cocktail” of sound (Michael Shaunessy, Flagpole). This intoxicating vibe led to Night Driving’s inclusion in a 2008 list of the “Top 25 Bands on Myspace” as determined by Rolling Stone, as well as their subsequent inclusion on the roster of Atlanta’s Lower 40 Records.
The band’s debut album on the Lower 40 label was released April 20, 2010. Night Driving in Small Towns are currently playing regionally in support of the record.

"There's, of course, a consequential warm, humming, lo-fi quality to these songs, but it's not really what makes Kitchen a middling effort. The songs dabble in this really straightforward singer-songwriter territory, and while it's not directly derivative of any influences, there's nothing that really stand out about them. Cook just rolls through these tracks with a lower register and daunting languidness.
It's just these linear narratives that don't really go anywhere. It's okay to forgo verse/chorus structure, but these are just paragraph blocks delivered forgettably." -PunkNews (reviewing "Kitchen")
"Trench Party is the solo project of Jake Cook. When he sent me a link this EP a little over a month ago, it was his most current release. He’s so prolific, though, that this is no longer the case – he’s got a new one called Hack out now. Take a look at all the guy’s releases – he’s a machine.
Trench Party (at least on record, anyway) is lo-fi singer-songwriter stuff, mostly built around just voice and guitar. Cook sings it all earnestly, even when he’s being kind of a smartass. It has the effect of making him sound like something of a DIY basement Jonathan Richman, which is a pretty good thing to sound like." -Little Advances (reviewing "Kitchen")
