Silent Drive Update On New Music
Silent Drive has issued an update regarding their next album. Here's the official word from the band:
"We are now in the process of shopping around new demo music. Once we confirm a budget for recording of the next record, we will book studio time. I'm about 99% sure we plan on going back to the Blasting Room with Bill Stevenson and Jason Livermore. This is where we recorded "Love Is Worth It." Bill and Jason are the best producers and engineers we've ever worked with. Not to mention Bill has been involved in music for a very long time, playing drums for Decendents and Black Flag along with many others.
"We have many more demos that were recorded during the "Mexican Standoff" session and while we would love for everyone to hear them, we feel its best not to post anything else until the album versions have been recorded, mixed and mastered.
"We do feel "Mexican.." came out great for free and not having any fancy studio tools or mics, but the 40 thousand dollar album version will be much more worth it."

Silent Drive Posts New Song, Adds Guitarist
After more than three years, Silent Drive (featuring members and ex-members of Bane and Drowningman) have posted a new song online. The new track, titled "Mexican Standoff," will be featured on the band's second album for Equal Vision Records. As such, the demo material will be re-recorded for the new album. The drum tracks were recorded in Vermont with drummer Dave Joyal's friend, Mark Lucia. Vocals, guitar, and bass were recorded in Massachusetts with Silent Drive's new second guitar player, Andy Kyte. The band states that the song is one of "the heavier tracks on the record and you can still expect the 'no song sounds the same' style on the next album."
A note from the band regarding the recent addition of Kyte: "Andy has been a friend of ours for years, He actually played second guitar in Silent Drive when the band was formed in early-2003. After we started jamming with Andy, we realized it helped fill out our sound to a degree we had never thought possible in the past. Now we have more room to experiment."
