The four worked together on creating demos, and submitted their work-in-progress material to Atlantic, who approved of the material and green-lighted a full-length album. The original lineup was rounded out by drummer Barry Kerch, who was the seventh drummer the band had auditioned for the spot. Smith and Stewart began recording demos together in a small local studio, whose owner recommended they meet with her fiancé, guitarist Jasin Todd, who Smith brought in as the third member. The first member he recruited was bassist Brad Stewart, through local Jacksonville music producer Pete Thornton. Smith moved to Jacksonville, Florida and began work on the project in 2001.
Atlantic signed Smith to a development deal where record representatives helped him with his song writing ability, and helped him recruit members for a new band, which would become Shinedown. The record label, unhappy with Dreve as a whole, dropped the band prior to releasing an album, but retained Smith, who they felt was worth developing separately as an artist. The band's origins trace back to frontman Brent Smith's prior band, Dreve, which had signed a record deal with Atlantic Records in 2000.

If your account is under the 20 days old, your post will automatically be removed. If you want to discuss or highlight an officially released song then make a self post and describe why you like the song rather than posting a link with a title of "what an underrated gem".

If the post meets the criteria for a valid post but is clearly not a great post, let's let the downvotes do the talking. This is due to the best interest of the band.
