Artist History As legend has it Akron Drive was formed from the remnants of Divine Steed. This was the bands old name and once Akron Drive was chosen as a new moniker they set out for the future only looking to the past to learn from it. Dave knew Jesse from a mutual friend and Kristin and Aaron answered an ad in the local entertainment mag. Once the chemistry was right they started rehearsing for their live show. As of April 2002 they have around 20 songs and are continually adding more. Stay tuned as you watch their ascent to mega-stardom.
