The Profile

Drive Like Jehu are an American post-hardcore band from San Diego formed in 1990 by John Reis and Rick Froberg with Mike Kennedy and Mark Trombino. They released two studio albums—Drive Like Jehu (1991) and Yank Crime (1994)—and reunited from 2014 to 2016.

Members: John Reis (guitar), Rick Froberg (vocals, guitar), Mike Kennedy (bass), Mark Trombino (drums). Origin: San Diego, California, USA.

Drive Like Jehu are hailed in these reviews as a ferociously precise San Diego post-hardcore outfit with math-rock reflexes and emo-core intensity. The 1991 debut is praised for cathartic vocals, tight rhythms, and explosive dynamics. Yank Crime (1994) is seen as ambitious and influential, though one review notes excess length and self-indulgence. Standout tracks cited include Here Come the Rome Plows, Caress, If It Kills You, Luau, and Do You Compute.
