Update: Barren Cross singer found

On May 8, 2008, the band officially announced they would be returning to the music scene.

Tri-Rock Radio (http://www.classicgod.com/trirock.htm), a positive hard rock/heavy metal radio station, has submitted some information to us in regards to former Barren Cross vocalist Mike Lee.

Mike Lee has moved from Los Angeles, California to France. He has a new stage name, simply titled Drive. Here is the info we found at his official band site, http://www.drivelive.com:

Drive, a French/American singer born and raised in Los Angeles, California. With a new name and a new sound; former writer, singer, and frontman for "BC", Drive is a silent explosion about to be felt worldwide.

.....Drive took to the road recently in a Renault Motorhome which he converted into a recording studio and began his search for just the right musicians to form the new 'drive' band. Known as a perfectionist, and not settling for 'mediocre' players, after finding them, he stated; "They're exactly what I've been looking for! Qualities that are not easy to find in the average musician are 'strong groove', 'emotion', and 'originality'... and I HAVE FOUND IT!"

Seven recorded songs later, (and many more waiting), Drive is now focused on finding the right company to put out and promote the new band, record the full 12-15 song album, film the new videos, and begin what will be; a very extensive tour. "I'm going to incorporate some very original and exciting events in our show. We are going to create something so intense, that 'word-of-mouth' will play a big factor in record sales... and I love to tour, so we are gonna be out there a lot ! People in many countries should have a good chance at seeing the band before too long."
