1) Driven was a hardcore punk band based in Amsterdam, the Netherlands. The group disbanded in 2001. Driven recorded their only official release, Cowardice Consumer of the West, in 1998. For their 2001 European tour they released a two-song demo CD independently. Their musical style can rather be described as metal than hardcore, however their idealistic message kept them inside the hardcore punk scene where they had sprang from in 1996.
2) There was also a nu metal band from Los Angeles fronted by Timm Saxton. From the Tracy G. website:
Four years of hard work!This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!
This comes from your archive. Found it as "The Driven" by Secret Police. It is just the opposite, "Secret Police" by The Driven. Haven't played it yet, don't know if it's a good transcription.

Second Verse
Got no legs got no eyes Very few bridges for many ties To the mainstream we love so well But must now conquer I got my man on the ground Got no vision but plenty sound You got the guns we got belief We will find the victim in you
Second Chorus
Ba ba bow But Im cuming out of my shell for you In the secret police I can do whatever I want to do
