Driveblind

Driveblind formed in Aberdeen in Scotland in 2001. Originally a two-piece singer-songwriter partnership comprising Nick Tyler and Terry McDermott, they recorded a few songs on cassette, later recruiting other band members to complete the band. After quickly establishing themselves on their local music scene, they played several well-attended shows in Aberdeen before then heading across the Atlantic Ocean to perform shows in New York and Los Angeles. A weekend of gigs at the Viper Room in Hollywood, California led to them being noticed by music industry representatives. After Driveblind, lead singer Terry McDermott continued his musical career in the States. He went on to form the band Lotus Crush with Candlebox members Peter Klett and Scott Mercado and MIGGS member John Luzzi in 2009. Lotus Crush released its debut record Half Light Morning on March 3, 2011. It was announced in 2012 that Terry McDermott had auditioned for Season 3 of the NBC television show The Voice becoming part of Team Blake. On December 18, 2012 Terry was named runner-up on The Voice.
