Rain City Drive

The group name is derived from Manchester, England, sometimes referred to as the "rainy city", where the five members initially met.

[4] Their first album, To Better Days, was initially released under their previous iteration name, but was later re-released and exists currently in digital stores as part of Rain City Drive's catalog.

All members of Rain City Drive were initially part of the post-hardcore band Slaves.

With the departure of Jonny Craig, then Slaves continued their touring endeavors across Europe and Australia, with Matt McAndrew assuming the role of lead vocalist.

In a statement, the band expressed their support for the BLM movement and their decision to disassociate their music from a term laden with negative connotations.
