Driven Obsession was founded by lead singer Rick Malott in October of 1993 as Obsessive Aggression and played as a heavy metal and hard rock cover band before writing a string of songs including Distant Dreams (Spring 94), Tyrant (Fall 94), Onslaught (Winter 94), Man of Misery (Spring 95), Look Out (Spring 95), Ill Be There (Spring 95), Ill Fall In Love Again (Winter 95), and Go Away (Winter 95). In 1996, 3 original members left the band for musical differences. Rick and guitarist Rob Anderson forged on. The band hired bassist Johnathan Magee and set out to find a drummer. Mike Gregory joined the band in the summer of 96 and the band wrote Hard Habit To Break during his audition. During the next year, the band enjoyed some success at both gigging and creating songs as they wrote Tides Of War and Shallow And Cold but found themselves searching for another drummer by the winter of 1997. After a year, and several disappointments with the lack of progress in the drummer department, the band split up. In winter of 2002, Rick, Rob, and John decided to reform the band. After several months, they found hard-hitting drummer Collin Lademann and set out to rock the world. Adopting the name Driven, they went to work on what will be their debut album, Driven Obsession by writing She (Summer 03) to complete the previous material. The band made their first appearance in 5 years before 600+ screaming fans at the Durand Benefit Concert in Durand, MI June 19th 2003. Shortly after, Rick needed surgery to have his tonsils removed. Now recovered, the band is setting to push forward. One more snag stood in the way, however, as the band discovered that there were several other bands in the United States called Driven. The band quickly decided to adopt a new name. Incorporating the Obsessive from the original band and meshing it with the new name they arrived at Driven Obsession. Get obsessed as they drive home some of your favorite hard rock & classic rock music in their melodic style. |
