Biography
Quietdrive members Justin Bonhiver and Droo Hastings were best friends growing up together. In 9th grade, Brandon Lanier started telling Hastings that he was a great drummer, and that they should start a band with him. At the time, Droo Hastings was the lead singer of the trio, and Brandon was the bass player.

The band started to audition for a lead singer, so they posted an ad on MP3.com. Kevin Truckenmiller posted his solo work, including an early incarnation of the song Both Ways. They later got Kevin to audition for them. At the time, Kevin went to the audition and sang into a radio-shack microphone. The trio clamed that they couldn't really hear what he was singing, so they set up a recording session at a friend?s basement.[citation needed]

When All That's Left Is You is Quietdrive's first full-length album, released in May of 2006. Its first single was "Rise from the Ashes" and was featured on EA's NHL 2007 soundtrack. Matt Kirby has been quoted in saying that the band wants to explore different sounds in their album, including the harder rock sounds from their past.

For the month of January 2007, Quietdrive is being featured as the "Artist of the Month" on Xbox Live. The band is touring heavily in the midwest as of late 2006 and early 2007.

Quietdrive released a new single entitled "Pretend" on their AbsolutePunk.net page in early 2007 for fans to stream.

This band had a odd beginning. late in 2002, Mr Ronis, playing with the experimental outfit, the Ronis Brothers, was asked to sling the axe for a little-known folk-rock singer named simply PILLA. After one practice before the show the next night, it was clear to Mr. Ronis this line up had somethng special. Prowling the stage like a animal waiting for prey, it was easy to see Mr. Pilla NEEDED to sing true rock n roll music. After the show, Ronis approached Pilla with the idea of a TRUE modern rock band. Loud guitar, screaming solos, screaming, melodic voals, and pounding drums. After the first song writing session, it was clear it MUST happen. Platinum, from the Ronis bros, replaced the orig bass player, bringing with him a taste for writing hot licks. Together, they are manace on-stage, playing with a no-holds-barred attitude, full of what a rock show SHOULD be. Checkout a show, you wont be dissapointed.

Fate sometimes smiles upon those who least expect it. This was the case for STAIJA during their chance meeting with Grammy-award winning audio engineer Steve Hodge in 2004. After listening to STAIJA's successful first EP "A New Energy," Hodge took STAIJA under his wing and honed three new songs for the "Show Yourself" EP as a pre-curser to a full length release expected early 2006.

Live, STAIJA's contagious vortex of energy is fueled by its rabid and rapidly growing fan base. Singer Alex Anderson's voice hovers over the dynamic, fleshy undertones, partnering with guitarist/singer Tony Williams at times for ambient, hypnotic harmonies that lull you into its grip. At other times, Anderson's eyes peel back, the rhythm section pounces, and a growling potency smashes down on you in furious ecstasy. This brilliant and unique show is enhanced by elaborate drum breakdowns, where Williams joins drummer Dane Tuders for well-orchestrated and stunning tribal rhythms. Dane's abilities are also displayed on a side project called F.O.R., which includes Paul Gray of Slipknot, as well as Chad Hanks, and Martin Cock of American Head Charge.

STAIJA has shared the stage spotlights with several national recording artists including: Taproot, Kings X, Flaw, SOiL, Trapt, Powerman 5000, American Head Charge, and Marilyn Manson. When STAIJA took the stage before Marilyn Manson, in front of a crowd notorious for eating the opening act alive, thousands of uninitiated concertgoers erupted in unanimous approval. This event made it resoundingly clear that STAIJA is ready for the next step.

Over the last three years, the members of STAIJA have exerted a tremendous amount of focused energy into sharing their art with as many people as possible. With a sound and performance versatile enough to intrigue and engage any music listener, STAIJA is ready to take hold of the national spotlight. They only need to be given the opportunity and the audience. Let fate smile upon you, and help push STAIJA to a new level.
