Kill the Drive is a four-piece punk rock band, formed in Haifa, Israel in 2005. The band started as a skate punk trio and gained their first recognition releasing their third album Lady Karma on Broken English Records, in 2012.
The band was formed in the summer of 2005, in Haifa, Israel, as a skate/hardcore punk trio, with Eyal Reiner on lead vocals and bass, Yuval Segal on guitar, and Gideon Berger (younger brother of Useless ID's Ishay Berger) on drums and percussion, under the name Increase, though not long after formation, guitarist Yuval Segal decided to leave the band and was replaced with Lavy Josephson. Segal returned to the band not long after, and the band decided to stay as a four-piece with both Segal and Josephson on guitars. The band started playing live right away, playing their first live show at the Patiphone club in Tel Aviv. though their close connection to internationally known punk rock band Useless ID landed them many opening slots for Useless ID, as well as other big name Israeli bands such as Betzefer and Man Alive.
In September 2005, the band opened for Australian Jewish punk rock band Yidcore and Useless ID on their co-headlining tour of Israel, at the show that took place at the Barby club in Kfar Saba. Not long after, Segal has once again left the band, and the band stayed as a trio. They then decided to record their first demo tape Short Notice, which included 7 songs and was self-released in February 2006. The band celebrated the release of the demo, opening for Useless ID and Whorecore at the City Hall club in Haifa, on February 10, 2006.
