Overdrive was an Italian band that was formed in Milan in 1985, at first consisting of Domenico Del Signore (keyboards), Joe Torelli (drums), Mauro Caputi (bass, vocals) and Jimmy A. (guitars). A few years down the line Caputi and Jimmy A. left, replaced by Pino Federiconi (vocals), Milton Damia (guitars) and Marco Marcelli (bass). This revamped line-up produced the only album released by this outfit; "The Human Machine"; which was released in 1990 by Musea Records.

Produced by Mauro Di Donato (Ezra Winston), Overdrive plays an original, energetic and subtle Progressive rock music. One and only album recorded by the Italian band, "The Human Machine" (1991) displays a great harmonic and instrumental richness. Special care is given to a biting guitar and dominant keyboards (Synthesizers, piano...). Vocals are often doubled, as Gentle Giant did. Some guests are featured here, like a female singer, a saxophone player and a flautist. This emotional music evokes the best Italian groups from the Seventies, such as Quella Vecchia Locanda, Banco Del Mutuo Soccorso Or Premiata Forneria Marconi. Not to be missed!
