When I was nine I was in love with Drake Bell. Drake & Josh was a huge show where he co-starred with Josh Peck. In the show Drake was in a band and loved music. Drake sang "I Found a Way," the theme for the show, and later on throughout the show presented the audience with some other songs. Being the huge fan I was, I had DVDs, CDs, magazines, and saw every single episode. Call me devoted.
So Drake has released several albums in the past, but his debut album (and in my opinion his best) can no longer be found on iTunes, which is a little strange. I am aware that because it was an independent album, they did run out of print and had to be re-released two years later, but just because that's what I read does not mean it's true. The internet, in fact, is NOT always right.
That album, Telegraph (2005), featured:

That album, Telegraph (2005), featured:
- Intro
- Found a Way - the theme for Drake & Josh (can also be found on the Drake & Josh soundtrack)
- Circles
- Somehow
- In the End
- Don't Preach
- Hollywood Girl - was featured in the TV movie Drake & Josh Go Hollywood (can also be found on the Drake & Josh soundtrack)
- Golden Days
- Down We Fall - was featured in the episode "Number One Fan" (can also be found on the Drake & Josh soundtrack)
- The Backhouse
- Highway to Nowhere - he performed this song on an episode of Zoey 101, another show created by Dan Schneider, the creator of The Amanda Show, iCarly, Drake & Josh, and other hit Nickelodeon TV shows (can also be found on the Drake & Josh soundtrack)
- Telegraph
For those of you who watched iCarly, Drake can also be heard as a background singer behind Miranda Cosgrove (the star of iCarly who also played Drake and Josh's little sister in Drake & Josh) in the theme song for the show, "Leave It All To Me."
Drake and Josh also covered the song "Soul Man" for their episode "Blues Brothers."

You may be wondering why I am bringing up the talented star. It's because he has a new album Ready Steady Go! which is set to be released Tuesday, April 22nd. One track has been released on iTunes thus far and it is called "Bitchcraft." Being as though it has been years since he has released an album, you would think his sound would have changed a tiny bit. It has. You can tell he has really matured as a singer and songwriter, but he still sounds like Drake Bell, which is what I like.
I'm curious to hear what the rest of the album sound likes, so I plan on buying it during its first week of release.
