SounDriver tore up the greater DC metro area from 2003-2005 and was:
Clint Allison - vocals
Howard Cardwell - drums
Paul Conti - bass
Bob Copeland - lead guitar
Brandon Witham - rhythm guitar
Unfortunately, we had at least three other decent originals for which demos were never made (everything else was covers). I know there's some video footage of them somewhere...will post, if I can find it.

Why this name?
I still don't really know.
Do you play live?
Not anymore. We broke up a long time ago.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
rrrrright....
Band History:
Best case of lazy convenience ever. Clint Allison and Brandon Witham, living together in Herndon, VA, put out an ad on the web to the tune of "singer and rhythm guitarist looking to join band". Bob Copeland, also living in Herndon, put out an ad along with Howard Cardwell and Paul Conti around the same time like "lead guitarist, bass, and drummer looking for singer and rhythm guitarist"....Wiz and T. Bronc responded shortly thereafter. Doesn't get any easier than that.
Some highlights included
- making it to the 3rd round at the Jaxx Battle of Bands. Although, I think at least one of those rounds was a pity advance, b/c another band dropped out or something. had to eat the cost of a Dream Theater ticket for that, dammit....no, I'm not bitter. :-)
- playing Jimmy's Old Town Tavern a thousand times including one of the famous Rally in the Alley's on Memorial Day weekend.

Favorite spot?
Jimmy's Old Town Tavern, Herndon, VA, USA
Equipment used:
Brandon Witham was using an Ibanez JEM through a Mesa Rectifier Solo 50 combo back in those days. Think Bob Copeland was running a Les Paul through a Line6. don't know what else was going on.
