Est. in 2001, Final Drive is the collaborated musical identity of 5 musicians from St. Louis Missouri. 3 EPs, 2 LPs, and 2 United States tours have been the result. Gathered mainstream attention in 2004 as one of the eight contestants on MTV's Battle for Ozzfest. Opened national slots for: Chimaira, OTEP, 3 Inches of Blood, Satyricon "Under the Overpass" was recorded in our home studio March-June '08 and mastered at West West Side Music in New York. We all are very proud of this record. Our live performance is an experience in itself. Just the way it should be. REVIEWS They walked on stage, calm and collected, donned their instruments, and then, out of nowhere, went into this frenzy of straight up Metal. I was totally blind sided by both their music and their performance. Final Drive's stage presence is as intense and energetic as the music they play. In my opinion, they are one of the most entertaining Metal bands I've seen in a long time. They all seem to be at home when on stage, and you can see this through their entire performance. ---- www.metal-temple.com SEE FINAL DRIVE WHENEVER POSSIBLE!!! These guys will kick your ***** a** and YOU WILL like it!! On the heels of their CD Release mini-tour, this was definitely a treat for everyone in attendance. Showing no signs that this was the final show of a grueling stint on the road; they had the energy and charisma of well seasoned vets. The whole time I just wanted to get drunk and fight!! Seriously though, find out for yourselves why they were 1 of 8 finalists for Ozzfest 2005 ---- Illinois Underground online Next up was the main act, Final Drive. I was hoping that they were not a token Midwestern band for America to laugh at on TV. My worries were quickly put to rest as they opened their set with lead singer Jordan Gaw giving the most impressive scream I have heard-ever. Their sound is crunchy, jarring, and unmistakably metal to the core. Barreling through one hard rock anthem after another, the band has all the makings of the next big thing. Their rhythm was tight, their guitars were blazing, and Gaw entertained the crowd with his high-energy shenanigans. ----- PLAYBACK Magazine St. Louis Missouri
