COMMENT: Wiki
Drive was a heavy metal band from Houston, Texas formed by guitarist Rick Chavez. They released two albums, Characters in Time (1988) and Diablero (1992), while active and an archives release, iDefi, dedicated to the memory of Chavez and vocalist David Taylor, in 2017.
Drive formed in Houston, Texas, in the mid-1980s when its members were barely out of high school but the band soon moved to Los Angeles, CA, which had become the center of the hard rock scene. After winning a KNAC radio contest with their song “I Need The Nights”, Drive landed on the 1987 10 Best From the West compilation released by Rampage Records, the hard rock division of Rhino Records. Rampage signed the band and in July 1988 Drive released their debut album, Characters in Time. The album received good reviews from the industry's hard rock press, including the coveted 5 “K” rating from Kerrang! Magazine. The album also received airplay from hard rock stations around the country, including KNAC in Los Angeles.
