Formally known as The Bandwagons. It started when Rizal and Ricky decided to form a band after a
long absentees in the underground scene in Kuching. Rizal was then with the band call Radish Fan and Ricky was ex-Nice Stupid
Playground guitarist. The two have known each other for a long time when both of them were very active in the underground
scene in Kuching.
After having a material to play they decided to recruit Nellfee ex-Radish Fan and Bobby
ex-Groovers Lump. They started to jamm and produce few songs and manage to record it as their first demo. Rizal take on the
role as the vocalist & guitar, Nellfee on lead guitar, Bobby on drum, and Ricky on bass. But to their disappointment the
demo never been released as it does not what they wanted it to be. The demo was a failure.
After a short period
of time Nellfee decided to join Nice Stupid Playground. That leave behind Rizal, Ricky and Bobby to continue the band. At
this time that they decided to change the band name to The Drives. The departure of Nellfee has given the opportunity for
the guys to change the direction of their music but still maintain the Brit sounds. They call their music as Rock n roll Noise
with blended of Brit sound or in a simple way Brit Rock. They immediately goes to studio and record their songs at Streamline
Studio own by Morgan Grimsam. There they recorded 7 songs. The songs are much different from first demo. In this second demo
much of experimental has been done to make the songs more suitable to their tastes. All the songs are written by Rizal. It
was produce by Morgan and the title of the demo is 'Waiting For You'.Those who wish to know and want some information of the
band can email us at rickythedrives@yahoo.com or usmara78@yahoo.com or just call Rizal at 0198863450.
