DoubleDrive (also seen abbreviated as dD) was a rock band from Atlanta, Georgia

Biography

Originally called MK Ultra, doubleDrive arrived on the music scene in their hometown of Atlanta in 1996. After winning the award for Atlanta's favorite "metal/extreme band" in 1998, doubleDrive signed a record deal with MCA Records and subsequently released their first studio album, "1000 Yard Stare", in August 1999. In 2001, doubleDrive began recording a second album with producer John Kurzweg. However, the band parted with MCA Records and the completed album remained unreleased. After shopping the album, the band signed with Roadrunner Records and reentered the studio in 2002 with producer Michael Barbiero to remix the album and record new songs. "Blue in the Face" was released in April 2003. DoubleDrive toured with bands such as Sevendust, Kid Rock, Queensrÿche, Megadeth, and Stereomud.

On December 3, 2003, doubleDrive played their final show in Atlanta. Singer Donnie Hamby is now doing DVD work (assisted with Sevendust's "Southside Doublewide Acoustic Live" and "Next" DVDs); guitarist Troy McLawhorn now plays with Dark New Day and Seether as touring guitarist; drummer Mike Froedge now performs with Open Sky Separators, as well as forming a band with Mike Stone of Queensrÿche (bass, vocals) and Black Label Society guitarist Nick Catanese. Their debut album will be released sometime in late 2007 or early 2008 under a not-yet-determined moniker.
