about
Members: Jordan Willams - Vocals Matt Donald - Drums Lee March - Bass Dusty Kirchner - Guitar [Minus] was a rock band from Atlanta, GA, where vocalist Jordan Williams and bassist Lee met as high schoolers. The duo became [Minus] after uniting with guitarist Dustin and drummer Matt, and was soon struggling for gigs in the competitive Atlanta club and house party scene. Internet exposure led to a performance (alongside another young group, Incubus) on the short-lived TV show Farmclub. [minus] attracted the attention of super-producer Ross Robinson (At The Drive-In, Slipknot) and Far/Onelinedrawing vocalist, Jonah Mataranga. Robinson hand-picked [minus] to win an opportunity to demo with him in a Shoutweb.com demo contest. Mataranga lent guest vocals to the band's emotional metal epic "Hesitant And Polite". It was also around this point that threatened legal action persuaded Minus to add a period and "Driver" to its name. The newly christened [Minus.Driver] was then snapped up by Universal in November 2002 and promptly sent to Los Angeles, where the group recorded a five-song EP. A Message for You was issued in August 2003, and showcased the band's surging blend of post-hardcore dynamics.
