Driven by Hate is the culmination of over a decade of aggression. Originally the band was named Outcast. This entity was known for it's un-relentless mayhem and power through the end of the 80's and early 90's. This lineup is still known as a Southern California legend.
In 1992, after several lineup changes, Bierbower and Bousquet teamed up with Purpura, starting a new chapter in the mayhem. Their writing styles were totally different, but the meshing was devastating. Shortly thereafter Hutchings came into the picture and the puzzle was complete. This lineup started crushing the L.A. circuit in 1993.
Outcast played all the major clubs with headlining acts such as Testament, Flotsam & Jetsam, Nevermore, Snot, Quiet Riot, Stuck Mojo, System of a Down and many others. In 1996, Outcast teamed up with Bob Kulick to produce their hard-hitting self-titled debut. He saw the onslaught of aggression, insane pits and headbanging of the filled-to-capacity crowds. He decided to lend his expertise to the project.
While we were in the studio recording the CD, the funk-rap band OutKast hit. We were faced with the need for a name change. After a million suggestions, Driven by Hate was born.
The band was immediately signed by MSI in France and the CD was released in 1997. Tons of fans hit our website and phone calls came in to do radio interviews. The label soon disappeared. Because of lack of support the band went on hiatus.
In the interim, Purpura , Bierbower and Hutchings continued working on other projects. Everyone figured that DBH would eventually start playing again, but no one anticipated that one original member would not be a part of the reconciliation. In September of 2003, Steve Bousquet died of a heart attack. We all miss him greatly, but it is time to move on.
