ATP! Album Review: Drake Bell - Ready Steady Go!

Transitioning successfully from children’s television star to serious musician is no easy task. Drake Bell, best known for his character on Nickelodeon’s Drake and Josh, has been fighting that battle since 2005. He has an impressive amount of work under his belt, from the show’s theme, “I Found A Way,” which he co-wrote and performed, to three full-length studio albums. His latest, released earlier this month, Ready Steady Go!, shows that Bell has grown significantly as a singer/songwriter. The album has a vintage rock feel with a cool, poppy edge that’s sure to appeal to just about any listener.
