Nothing's Gonna Stop Me Now

The song "Nothing's Gonna Stop Me Now" by The Defiants from their album Drive is a fist-pumping, arena-ready rocker that perfectly suits the Zoo Crew’s high-energy, retro vibe, igniting the Zoo Freaks with its infectious spirit. In a Facebook post, the band shared that the track was crafted to capture the relentless drive of chasing dreams, with guitarist Rob Marcello calling it “a love letter to never giving up.” Fans on X have echoed this, with one user describing it as “the ultimate motivational anthem for blasting on a road trip.” Released in 2023, Drive channels the band’s signature melodic rock sound, and “Nothing’s Gonna Stop Me Now” has been a crowd favorite at live shows, with its soaring chorus sparking sing-alongs.

The Defiants were born from the ashes of melodic rock royalty, formed by Paul Laine, Bruno Ravel, and Rob Marcello, all veterans of the band Danger Danger. The trio kicked off in 2015, fueled by a shared vision to revive the larger-than-life AOR sound of the 80s and 1early 990s. Ravel, the bassist and producer, and Laine, the powerhouse vocalist, had already collaborated on Danger Danger’s classic albums, and they recruited Marcello’s shredding guitar skills to complete the lineup. Starting in Ravel’s New York studio, they crafted their self-titled debut, released in 2016, which won over fans of the genre. As shared in an Instagram post, their early days were about late-night jams and a commitment to making music that felt timeless yet fresh.
