Drive

A few months ago I was at my local st. Vincent de pauls and was scoping out their selection of discs and I came across this hard rock album by a band named Drive, the album was called Characters in time. I gave the disc a spin and came to the conclusion that I might have just found a real gem. The band is your standard 80's hard rock group that touches on some minor progression. The music was brilliant, instantly a favorate. The vox are covered by a dude named David Taylor which made me instantly think of the vocalist of Jacobs Dream of the same name. The only info I could find was on ult's NLTM that had another album that came out in 92, mines from 88 I think.

So, does anybody know about these boys, is it the same vocalist from Jacobs Dream, and are there any other Drive albums?

Glad this was not about the solo career for the former Barren Cross singer. Other than that, I can't help you out.

Doesn't seem to be the same singer, but I could be wrong. Eric Singer played on their second album!

I have that DRIVE album on vinyl and love it. It remind me very much of bands like HEIR APPARENT, RACER X, FIFTH ANGEL, CULPRIT etc....

I have both of their albums on Cd and are both great. Characters in time is a little more straight ahead metal, whilst the follow up is more hard rock influenced.

Nice score as its quite hard to come by now!

Fantastic band......"Diablero" is actually alot stronger than their debut, but both are great!!!

Sounds like I need to find the other one . Just after I wrote this I found some info on Encylopedium Metallum about the band, but thanks for the help guys, glad to hear theres some other fans.

"Diablero" can be gotten for very cheap on Ebay or half.com....
