The 1984 Draft
**The 1984 Draft** is a Dayton, Ohio-based rock band blending gritty heartland rock with punchy power-pop hooks. Fronted by singer-guitarist Joe Anderl (formerly of The Story Changes), the group formed in 2014, channeling raw, earnest energy into songs about everyday struggles, nostalgia, and Midwestern resilience. Their sound nods to ’90s alt-rock and punk influences, with lyrics that feel like conversations with old friends. Since their 2016 debut *Make Good Choices*, they’ve sharpened their anthemic style on releases like *Best Friends Forever* (2023) and EPs such as *Blood Thicker Than Honey / Holiday Inn*, earning nods from fans of The Menzingers or The Gaslight Anthem. Known for relentless DIY touring and unfiltered live shows, they’ve shared stages with scene heavyweights while staying rooted in Dayton’s tight-knit music community.
