Four Wheel Drive were a band from Essen, Germany, active between 2000 and 2001. They put out two official releases, one on Hometown Caravan and the other on Millipede, and a self-released demo tape. That's pretty much all I know about them. They never had a website and their name makes them nigh impossible to Google. I don't even have a photo of them. Though I suspect they were formed in the late 90s, I can't prove it. Musically, they were a combination of pop punk and emocore—think Hot Water Music and you're in the right ballpark.
The band's entire output consists of six songs. Their first release was a demo tape, DLX, but I don't know what year. It could be 2000, or 1999, or even earlier. They followed it up with a three-song self-titled 7" single in July of 2000. In 2001, their last release was a track on the love still has its meaning compilation.
