Quietdrive's roots can be traced back to Minneapolis, Minnesota USA,
in late 2003 after vocalist+chief songwriter Kevin Truckenmiller posted
a few MP3s on a local music site. Drummer Brandon Lanier, who had been
playing with guitarist Justin Bonhiver and bassist Droo Hastings since
grade school, heard the tracks and called; the group was completed when
Truckenmiller brought in former college classmate Matt Kirby on guitar.
With line-up intact, the quintet spent the next year and a half sharpening
their sound and playing shows on the Midwest club circuit. Gigs with The
Donnas and a stint on Warped Tour 2004 came next, followed by a head-turning
demo and a deal with Epic.
The band's debut full-length album arrived in May 30, 2006, Quietdrive
fully deliver on "When All That's Left Is You", a perfectly
paced record of sumptuous Pop hooks, raw Rock thrills and beautifully
warm, open-hearted melodies about faith, hope and love; the record, which
hit the top 40 of the U.S. Independent Albums, includes two singles "Rise
From The Ashes" and the cover of Cyndi
Lauper's "Time After Time".
