WHAT DO YOU GET WHEN YOU GO WITH DRIVE?

You get your hands full with explosive metal, loops and modern industrial elements - not to mention the two stunning vocalists!

Over the past few years the music itself has grown even more aggressive; and the musicians themselves describe it as "ass kicking metal". Starting from the very first beat, Drives straightforward attitude immediately hits you right in the stomach. They're domestically called the "Finnish bastard child of Slipknot and Fear Factory"; and Drive takes Finnish metal onto a whole new level.

On the debut of 1st Class Enemy the band boldly chooses to use elements from mainstream dance pop music without prejudice. The music has been described as "controlled mechanical chaos" and no kidding; the band itself has been referred to as "the loudest band in Finland"! If you can handle this band, you can handle everything. You've been warned.

HISTORY IN A NUTSHELL

Drive started as a rough two- man project from the suburbs of Helsinki. Over the past ten years the band has become a skilled, unique metal band with six members.

The first release, EP Circles, was a great kick start; the video for the song, Circles, went straight to number one on Moon TV's Top 6 -video chart show (local cable channel). They've done TV performances & interviews, played at festivals like Tuska and Nummirock and have received radio airplay from several different metal shows all over the world.

Drive's debut album, 1st Class enemy, was released February the 20th 2004 and is distributed by Stay Heavy Records.

During years 2005-2006 Drive played some gigs but concentrated more on writing new material. Also some lineup changes were made when band's original guitarist came back to the band.
