Career

In March 2004, The City Drive (TCD) performed on the opening night of the South by Southwest in Austin, Texas. In June, they joined the Nokia Core Tour.[1]

In December 2004, The City Drive signed a record deal with We The People/Sony Records. They spent 2005 touring and recording their debut, full-length CD, Always Moving Never Stopping, with Chris Fudurich which features backing vocals by Rachel Haden.

The City Drive played dates on the Vans Warped Tour for the first time in the summer of 2006, not long after opening for multi-platinum-selling artist Hoobastank. Later that same year, TCD toured the east coast with Allister and Self Against City, and embarked on a national tour with Las Vegas band Fletch. The album Always Moving Never Stopping was released on June 27, 2006.

The band's music has been heard on television (Celebrity Poker Showdown, Runaway) in major motion pictures (Yours, Mine and Ours,[2] American Pie Presents: Band Camp[3]) and appeared in the music publication Alternative Press magazine.[1]

In 2007, bassist Scott Waldman left the band and went on to pursue his own music, forming a band called Lido Beach. He was replaced by Jake Rodenhouse.

On January 28, 2009, Danny Smith officially announced the band's break-up on The City Drive's MySpace page, stating that they had parted ways shortly after being dropped from Sony Records.
