Quietdrive is a pop punk band from Minneapolis, Minnesota formed in 2002. Quietdrive released their debut album When All That's Left Is You on May 30, 2006 and are signed to Epic Records.
Quietdrive members Justin Bonhiver and Droo Hastings were best friends growing up together. In 9th grade, Brandon Lanier started telling Hastings that he was a great drummer, and that they should start a band with him. At the time, Droo Hastings was the lead singer of the trio, and Brandon was the bass player.
The band started to audition for a lead singer, so they posted an ad on MP3.com. Kevin Truckenmiller posted his solo work, including an early incarnation of the song Both Ways. They later got Kevin to audition for them. At the time, Kevin went to the audition and sang into a RadioShack microphone. The trio clamed that they couldn't really hear what he was singing, so they set up a recording session at a friend’s basement.
When All That's Left Is You is Quietdrive's first full-length album, released in May of 2006. Its first single was "Rise from the Ashes" and was featured on EA's NHL 2007 soundtrack. Matt Kirby has been quoted in saying that the band wants to explore different sounds in their album, including the harder rock sounds from their past.
In the month of January 2007, Quietdrive was featured as the "Artist of the Month" on Xbox Live.
The band is touring heavily in the Midwest as of late 2006 and early 2007.
Quietdrive released a new single entitled "Pretend" on their AbsolutePunk.net page in early 2007 for fans to stream.
Their cover of the Cyndi Lauper song "Time After Time" is currently being used in promotions for the WNBA for its "Have You Seen Her?" campaign.
