Members: Ian Althouse, Kevin Krum, Ryan Mangle

INDEPENDENCE DRIVE is a powerful trio of musicians melting melodic guitar rock with the polyrhythms of reggae and funk. The band consists of twenty somethings Ian Althouse (lead vocals, guitars), Kevin Krum (bass) and Ryan Mangle (drums). The band is known for their dynamic live performances; from Althouse's melodic guitar work and steady vocals to Krum's smooth, intricate basslines and starting with Mangle's articulate and energetic drumming, the band has elevated their sound in the trio format (think The Police, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Sublime, Muse). I-DRIVE continues to play in front of the local club crowds and are constantly writing new material in the endless game of getting their material out to the masses.
