History
Remedy Drive was originally under the name The Aslan Band when they first formed in 1998.[1] They released their first album, Remedy, in 1998 as The Aslan Band. After changing their band name to Remedy, they released four more independent albums: Remedy (The Blue One) (1999), Remedy (The Red One) (2001), Remedy: A Live Album (2003), and Magnify (2004),[1] before again changing their name, this time lengthened to Remedy Drive. Their last independent album, Rip Open the Skies, was released on April 25, 2006[2] and has sold over 20,000 copies to date.[3]
Before being signed to Word Records, the band was playing over 200 concerts a year in the Midwest and West Coast of the United States.[4]
Daylight is Coming
The band signed on with Word Records in early 2008 after being an independent band for nearly ten years. Their first non-independent studio album, Daylight is Coming, will be released on August 26, 2008 on Word Records.[5] The album was produced by Ian Eskelin.[5] Remedy Drive's first official single "Daylight" was released to Christian CHR radios on May 23, 2008.[5] Lead singer David Zach said about the song: "In Lord of the Rings, Gandalf said, ‘At dawn, look to the East’, and that’s the message we’re offering here: even in the most desperate times, each new day provides a glimmer of hope."[5]
In 2005, Remedy Drive played alongside fellow Lincoln, Nebraska band VOTA (then known as Casting Pearls) at the Rocco Theatre in Lincoln. This performance ended up on the CD-DVD re-release of VOTA's label debut Casting Pearls.
On June 13, 2008, Remedy Drive performed at the Crossover Christian Music Festival in Camdenton, Missouri along with other Christian artists such as Building 429, BarlowGirl and Skillet.[6] Crossover has been considered to be "one of mid-America's largest Christian music events".[6]
