About Drive Thru Society

Drive Thru Society is a violin metalcore band from Denton, Texas, built around Meg and Greg Hudson, Kathy Crabtree-Moore, Michael Moore, and drummer Miles Ramsey. Clean violin runs through metalcore guitars, choir-trained vocals, and lyrics shaped by faith tested in real life.

The project began after Meg and Greg met on a college praise team and stepped away to form the band in 2011. In 2016, “Amnesty” and “Embers” spent a combined seventeen weeks on the Billboard Christian Rock chart. After a hiatus, Drive Thru Society returned with its first full-length album, Thresholds. The name challenges convenient belief: faith sustained by church community, marriage, grief, and real relationships rather than quick spiritual consumption.

Drive Thru Society got their name from a question: is church becoming a place you pull up to, grab a feel-good sermon, and drive away from?

Meg was driving home past a drive-thru pharmacy, a drive-thru car wash, a drive-thru beer barn, and started wondering what happens to a faith built for convenience. "The Bible literally says don't give up meeting together." The band name has been the argument ever since.

They're a Christian violin metalcore band out of Denton, Texas, and their first full-length album, Thresholds, is exactly the kind of heavy we love. Kathy has been playing violin for 27 years and runs it clean through a metalcore mix, no distortion, all in the hands. Meg went into the studio choir-trained and came out screaming. Michael was agnostic until 2017, went forward at an altar call, and Kathy proposed to him the next day. Miles lost his dad, walked away, and went looking for God on his own terms rather than taking anyone's word for it.

We also get into the honest stuff: ministry, marriage, money, and a conversation about miscarriage that neither Kate nor Meg flinched from.
