Biography
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 radio-shack 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.[citation needed]

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.

For the month of January 2007, Quietdrive is being 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.

In only their 7th show, they placed 2nd in the Twin Cities hard rock station's 93X Battle of The Bands. They then went on to play the station's annual 93X-Fest in Somerset, Wisconsin, sharing the stage with such bands as Sum 41, Taproot, CKY, and many more. Since then, they’ve embarked on a non-stop assault of the Minneapolis/St. Paul and greater Midwest club scene. To this day they continue to stretch deeper into the Midwest playing shows in Iowa, Wisconsin, South Dakota, Nebraska, Illinois, Kentucky and beyond.
In late 2003, Gingerjake journeyed to Orange County, CA where they hooked up with Producer/Engineer Cameron Webb, who has engineered albums for 311 and Godsmack and produced So Cal punk legends Social Distortion. They r
