Manic Drive, who used to be called One Cross half a decade ago, is an intense hard rock band with years of seasoning under their belts. When you see them live in concert, you will definitely think they're both manic and driven. At the heart of the band are two brothers-- a wild one and a reserved, more business-like one, and this band continues to gain recognition as the years go by.
Whiplash Records will release RESET & REWIND, the second national recording from Canadian rock band Manic Drive, on October 23, 2007.
Produced by Brian Hardin, RESET & REWIND features guest vocals from former DC Talk member Kevin Max and rapper M.O.C.
Manic Drive's first national CD, Reason For Motion, spawned four radio hit singles including top 5 and top 10 songs on the Christian rock charts. Manic Drive had two top 10 international music videos from Reason For Motion, and their songs "Something More" and "Nebulous" were featured as theme and commercial music for Spike TV's TNA Wrestling. They co-headlined the Revolution Generation Tour with Seventh Day Slumber, and have played at all the major festivals including Kingdom Bound, Cornerstone, Rock The Desert, Joshua Fest, Ichthus Festival, Downpour Festival, and Spirit West Coast. CCM Magazine named Manic Drive one of the "Bands to Watch" in 2006.
RESET & REWIND has already spawned a new radio single and music video entitled "Eleven Regrets."
Brothers Shawn and Michael Cavallo, who hail from a Toronto suburb, began their music career when they were only eight and nine-year-old kids, creating four, self-produced CDs before joining Whiplash Records for their 2005 debut. Now in their early 20s, these "veterans" have been endorsed by C28 Clothing, Scripts Shoes, Peavy Audio, and Godin Guitars.
RESET & REWIND features guest appearances from Kevin Max, Jill Parr, and M.O.C., and the band will tour again this fall with Seventh Day Slumber to promote the new CD.
"This is one of the best records I've ever made," says Brian Hardin, producer for RESET & REWIND and Managing Partner of Whiplash Records. "It's exciting to see Manic Drive's growth artistically and spiritually. They've paid their dues and have impacted tens of thousands of lives over the years and Whiplash Records is thrilled to be a part of their mission."
