Kevin: Oh, we didn't change the name. What happened was that we had two different groups. Me and Matt (also known as Kirby, guitarist for Quietdrive) we had a side project going on. We just decided to bring everything together. When we did that we had to decide on what name we were going to use. After a while, we decided on Quietdrive because that represented our vision. That's what I believe in now. What Quietdrive means to me is that we all have this drive inside of us, but we don't want to be flamboyant about it. We do want to show it in our show.
?: Aside from the songs on the EP, how do the other songs sound?
Kevin: All the songs that we chose for the album are fairly new. On one spectrum you have this grind sound and on another spectrum you have a pop sound. Then there's an acoustic sound. It's a full spectrum of genres. I get bored really easily when writing the same type of music. A lot of bands will have a certain niche, and they'll just keep writing songs in that niche and it works for them. I have nothing against that at all. Maybe someday we'll find that niche.
Rather than trying to put Quietdrive's music into words, I'll let the music speak for itself. You can check out two of their songs from their EP, Fall From the Ceiling at www.myspace.com/quietdrive. The band will be playing at The Silo in Reading, Pennsylvania on January 14th. I highly recommend checking them out to hear the music that isn't available yet.
