Cold Driven

Cold Driven was formed in early, 2005 by founding member's vocalist Billy Nickell, bassist Dennis Nickell, guitarist Shane Bouthillier and guitarist Ben Bouthillier's mutual passion for creating unique and original music. With the rock solid foundation of this band being brothers they recorded their debut album, "Set In Stone" (2005) and established themselves as a fresh new force in music, that revealed a multi-faceted group which thrives on creative exploration and escape.



With the nationwide release of "Steel Chambers" (2007), Cold Driven further reinforced their distinctive sound. On the strength of those songs, and extensive touring across Canada in 2008, CD pushed their first single "Heavier Than Heaven" to number 51 on the Canadian rock charts, solidifying a strong fan base across the country. The year also brought the band a top 5 winning slot in the Vancouver Fox 99.3 Seeds competition.



With recent changes to the band, CD looked to drummer and longtime friend Jeremy McLachlan from their hometown of Armstrong, B.C. to become their fifth and final member. With the core of the band together they now have their sights set on recording an explosive third record with producer Danny Craig from platinum recording artists Default.



Cold Driven has shared the stage with: Default, Thornley, The Veer Union, State Of Shock, Corb Lund, Danko Jones, and Sam Roberts.
