With connections to Bane, Dasai, Drowning Man, and Ink Cartridge Funeral, the sound of Worecester, MA's Silent Drive -- formed by drummer Dave, guitarist Nick, bassist Pete, and vocalist Zach -- is rooted in both hardcore punk and heavy metal. The quartet released their first album, 2004's Love Is Worth It, on the Equal Vision label. It was produced by Bill Stevenson (Black Flag, Descendents, All). ~ Andy Kellman
