Drive Like Jehu is an American
post-hardcore band from
San Diego active from 1990 to 1995. Formed by
rhythm guitarist and vocalist
Rick Froberg and
lead guitarist John Reis following the breakup of their band
Pitchfork, the band's lineup also included bassist Mike Kennedy and drummer
Mark Trombino. Their music was characterized by multisectioned compositions, interlocking guitar patterns, orchestrated builds and releases, and elliptical melodies that produced a distinctive sound amongst other post-hardcore acts and impacted the evolution of
hardcore punk into
emo.
