Karl originally started this page, these are his words below. Thanks,,,Car Vs Driver.
This a fan run page. I have no contact with the band outside of the songs and memories that they left behind. Hopefully, there are others who have memories, photos, flyers, or whatever to share. Without the Driver Dome I am not sure I would be the same guy that I am today, and i dont think that I am the only kid from Atlanta that can say that. I figured if Inkwell has a page, well so should Car vs. Driver. I will leave the bio up to the well written words of James Joyce.
"Car vs. Driver began when I was 17 years old. By the time we played our final show, I was 19. This band was the music of my life during a period when people usually experience the greatest amount of freedom, which is what I think of whenever I listen to this music now. There were so many new experiences: living on our own, meeting new people, getting a new perspective on life. Our lifestyle in turn gave us a new perspective on expressing music, and we poured all of our energy and emotion into it. Music that now seems a world away music from a different life. Its hard to remember that everything about being in a band at that time was simply making a 7, buying the cheapest van you could find, and touring the country for the summer. There was no infrastructure to build your music around, which also removed its barriers. Instead of running our band like a corporation, we played peoples living rooms and basements, engaged in kickball tournaments, made record covers out of manila envelopes, slept on top of our van, cooked pasta, and played with some of the most amazing bands in the process. Bands that epitomized the time like Spirit Assembly, Policy of 3, Friction, Current, The Yah Mos, Assfactor 4, Frail, Hoover, Freemasonry, Scout, and Inkwell. The experience we had is something that could never be recreated, and I consider myself incredibly lucky to have been a part of that moment in time. Thank you Matt, Steve, and Jonathan for bringing this to me." James Joyce. August, 2004

I am currently offering bands a $200 per day deal to come in and record , if you are a young band and need a product this could be a great opportunity for you to record in a proffessional studio and leave with a product at the end of the day, all for $200!!!
Also for bands who just want to lay some new tracks down fairly quickly this would be ideal. Grab some time while the offer lasts!!
