In April 2008, Quietdrive left Epic Records and released an album titled Deliverance on October 14, 2008, with the Militia Group.

Kevin Truckenmiller entered the band after submitting his solo work, including an early incarnation of the song "I Go Both Ways", which was named after their friend, Jennings Lane.

[2] The group eventually joined together and formed in 2002 under the name "Sneaker 2 Bombs," a hard rock band which reflected the evolving Minneapolis local music scene.

The band pursued music venues in Minneapolis but found better connection with younger crowds and stayed between suburban and city clubs.

By April 2004, Kirby was officially made a band member and Sneaker2bombs began live performances in local bars including The Lodge.

Truckenmiller and Kirby also performed as an acoustic duo at the graduation night for Holy Angels Academy High School in June 2004.

Pete Giberga, a Vice President of A&R at Epic's Santa Monica's office, flew in and decided to sign the band.

In early August 2004, Giberga contacted attorney Lewitt and offered a deal memo binding Quietdrive to Epic.

Over the next four months, the band sought advice from industry veterans including Danny Nozell, and emerged with the decision to dismiss Lewitt, hire Sui Generis attorney Jeff Biederman, and negotiate a long form contract with Epic.

Though the band garnered success with Epic Records, in April 2008 they cancelled their contract, partly citing the restricting management of the major music industry.

In the summer of 2010, bassist Droo Hastings also decided to leave Quietdrive while the band was touring in support of Close Your Eyes.

On February 1, 2012, Quietdrive released their single "Until the End (Acoustic)" on iTunes, with all proceeds going to the Dean Randazzo Cancer Foundation.

A music video was released on YouTube that same day, featuring the Grand Nationals, Colin Kassekert and Phil Costa of the Dallas Cowboys.

On October 10, 2012, Bonhiver announced he was leaving the band to pursue other interests[10] After two years of some touring and time at home they released their fifth studio record The Ghost of What You Used to Be in December 2014.

On April 23, 2019, Quietdrive announced that they were reuniting for their first public show in nearly 4 years, and promised "a lot of surprises" over the coming summer and fall.
