Drive Like Jehu
Encyclopedia
Drive Like Jehu was an American post-hardcore
and alternative rock
band from San Diego active from 1990 to 1995. Formed by rhythm guitar
ist and vocalist Rick Froberg
and lead guitar
ist John Reis
following the breakup of their band Pitchfork
, the band's lineup also included bassist Mike Kennedy and drummer Mark Trombino
. Their music was characterized by multisectioned compositions, interlocking guitar patterns, orchestrated builds and releases, and elliptical melodies that produced a distinctive sound amongst other post-hardcore acts and impacted the evolution of hardcore punk
into emo
.
After releasing their eponymously-titled debut album
in 1991 through local record labels Cargo Music
and Headhunter Records
, Drive Like Jehu signed to major label Interscope Records
along with Reis' other band Rocket from the Crypt
. Their second album, 1994's Yank Crime
, gained a cult following
, but the group disbanded shortly after its release. Reis continued with Rocket from the Crypt and Trombino became a successful record producer
and audio engineer, while Froberg and Kennedy pursued careers outside of music. From 1999 to 2005 Reis and Froberg reunited in Hot Snakes
, and Reis re-released Yank Crime through his Swami Records
label.
and guitarist John Reis
had played together in Pitchfork
from 1986 to 1990. Pitchfork's breakup led to the formation of two new bands: Reis launched Rocket from the Crypt
while he and Froberg simultaneously recruited bassist
Mike Kennedy and drummer
Mark Trombino
, both formerly of Night Soil Man, to form Drive Like Jehu in August 1990. The band's name was derived from the story of Jehu
in the Books of Kings
:
While Froberg had sung in Pitchfork, in Drive Like Jehu he also played guitar, adding a rhythm guitar
to Reis' lead
. The band's debut album, Drive Like Jehu
, was released in 1991 through Cargo Music
and Headhunter Records
, simultaneous with Rocket from the Crypt's debut Paint as a Fragrance
. Produced by Donnell Cameron
and with artwork by Froberg, it was praised as "a quantum leap forward" from Reis and Froberg's work in Pitchfork. In 1992 Drive Like Jehu released the single
"Hand Over Fist" / "Bullet Train to Vegas" through Merge Records
and the song "Sinews" on the Cargo/Headhunter compilation album
Head Start to Purgatory.
. According to some accounts, Reis insisted that Drive Like Jehu be signed along with Rocket from the Crypt in a package deal. Drive Like Jehu released an album first, putting out Yank Crime
that year. Engineered and mixed by Trombino, and again with artwork by Froberg, it had some longer, more complex songs and was described by critics as an "uncompromising maelstrom of technically intricate fury" and "as worthy and awesome as its predecessor".
In 1995 Drive Like Jehu disbanded, partly so that Reis could concentrate on Rocket from the Crypt, who put out three releases that year and continued until 2005. Drive Like Jehu never officially announced a breakup, but simply stopped playing together. Trombino became a successful record producer
and audio engineer, working with bands such as Blink-182
and Jimmy Eat World
, while Kennedy left music to become a chemist
. Froberg briefly played in Thingy
before moving to New York City
to pursue a career as a visual artist and illustrator, later reuniting with Reis in the Hot Snakes
from 1999 to 2005. In November 2002 Reis re-released Yank Crime through his Swami Records
label, including on it the tracks from "Hand Over Fist" / "Bullet Train to Vegas" and "Sinews" from Head Start to Purgatory. Reis currently performs in The Night Marchers
and Froberg in Obits
.
, alternative rock
, and emo
. Steve Huey of Allmusic calls them "arguably the most progressive of the leading post-hardcore bands: their lengthy, multisectioned compositions were filled with odd time signatures, orchestrated builds and releases, elliptical melodies, and other twists and turns that built on the innovations of the Dischord
label. The result was one of the most distinctive and ferocious sounds in the loosely defined post-hardcore movement." Next to contemporaries such as Fugazi and Quicksand
, Drive Like Jehu was sometimes overlooked and their music was sometimes difficult for critics to place in a broader context. According to Huey, the band was influential to the development of emo even though the style's later sound was quite different from Drive Like Jehu's: "The term 'emo' hadn't yet come into wider use, and while Drive Like Jehu didn't much resemble the sound that word would later come to signify, they exerted a powerful pull on its development. Moreover, they did fit the earlier definition of emo: challenging, intricate guitar rock rooted in hardcore and performed with blistering intensity, especially the frenzied vocals." Allmusic's Ned Raggett also commented on the emo connection in his review of Yank Crime: "Perhaps even more than the debut, Yank Crime solidified Drive Like Jehu's reputation as kings of emo. While use of that term rapidly degenerated to apply to sappy miserableness by the decade's end, here the quartet capture its original sense: wired, frenetic, screaming passion, as first semi-created by the likes of Rites of Spring
." Brendan Reid of Pitchfork Media
also notes that "It's often easy to forget that DLJ were considered emo in their day; Froberg's howls of 'Ready, ready to let you in!' on 'Super Unison' seem like a sick parody of stylish vulnerability. Then the song mutates into a gorgeous, snare-drum rolling open sea, and everything you've ever liked (and still like) about this genre in its purest form comes flooding back."
of Drive Like Jehu consists of two studio album
s and one single
