Drew showed the world that with the help of MySpace and great word of mouth, anyone with worthwhile work ethic and talent can start a monumental snowball effect towards success. After recording an EP by himself in his basement, NeverShoutNever! became an instant online success story, averaging over 40,000 online plays a day, and headlining shows throughout the Midwest. In early July, he was positioned in the top spot on the MySpace unsigned artist listing, and his first official release, the YIPPEE EP (July 29th), was followed up by a performance on TRL’s “on your radar” segment the very next day.
Drew started his climb to stardom in mild fashion. He learned to play the guitar from a friend early in his teen years. Then, his parents bought him a Macintosh computer for Christmas and with some sound-editing software, Drew was on his way to stardom.
As of November 17, 2008, the official spelling of Ingle's alias became NeverShoutNever! It had previously been listed as Never Shout Never on iTunes and his management company’s site. An official statement regarding the reason behind the spelling change has not been made available. In an interview, Ingle revealed that there is no longer an exclamation point after his name and that he will spell NeverShoutNever as one word when he is feeling happy, but three words when he isn’t. Warner Bros. Records is spelling his name as “Never Shout Never” for the upcoming release.
After experimenting with a couple of other names, Drew settled on Never Shout Never, the name of one of his songs, to represent him musically.
Ingle follows a strict vegan diet. His music career caused him to drop out of his high school, Joplin Senior High, before graduation.

Wrong Side Of Town
Never Shout Never Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You're telling me you're just a small town girl
Sweet shut down 44 'bout 3 hours what's the fear
You're here for the night and you're feeling alright
But you seem like the type to leave when you're falling in love
Spend the night with me, I'll take you away from unnecessary pain
You face every day from the modern push and pull
It tugs you around so please spend the night with me
I'll show you around the wrong side of town.
You're telling me you are a good girl
I really ain't one to judge
But you seem like the type to love 'em and leave 'em for dust
You're telling me you are an actress
Honey you ain't fooling me, you'll talk your big talks
Stare me dead in the eye as you lie through your teeth
Spend the night with me, I'll take you away from unnecessary pain
You face every day from the modern push and pull
It tugs you around so please spend the night with me
I'll show you around the wrong side of town.
La la la la la la
La la la la la la
La la la la la la
Spend the night with me, I'll take you away from unnecessary pain
You face every day from the modern push and pull
It tugs you around so please spend the night with me
I'll show you around
The wrong side of town
Will get you high
On the wrong side of town
You won't say goodbye on
The wrong side of town
Will get you high
On the wrong side of town
You won't say goodbye on
The wrong side of town
Will get you high
On the wrong side of town
You won't say goodbye on
The wrong side of town
Will get you high
On the wrong side of town
You won't say goodbye.
In Never Shout Never's "Wrong Side of Town," the singer describes a girl who claims to be a small-town girl but is actually very adventurous and not afraid to take risks. He urges her to spend the night with him, promising to take her away from her everyday pain and show her the wrong side of town. He tells her that she seems like the kind of person who would leave someone they fall in love with, but that doesn't matter to him because he wants to be with her anyway. He sees through her act of being an actress and tells her that she's not fooling him.
The concept of the wrong side of town can be interpreted in many ways. It could refer to a place where bad things happen, a place where people go to have fun and forget their troubles, or even a metaphor for embracing one's dark side. The lyrics suggest that the girl is tired of the monotony of her everyday life and is seeking something more exciting. The singer is offering to be that excitement for her, even if it's only for one night.
