Ross and Rocky Lynch's The Driver Era Release New Summer Single ‘Malibu’; European Tour Starts in October

Alt-pop band THE DRIVER ERA release their brand new single ‘Malibu’. Stream ‘Malibu’ HERE.

Laced in escapism, brothers Rocky and Ross Lynch wrote the song while daydreaming about personal experiences. “‘Malibu' is about reminiscing on experiences in the best locations" the band says. "It's about getting away. It's the spontaneous trip you take with someone - maybe you knew them before, or maybe you're meeting them for the first time”.

‘Malibu’ follows on the band's recent single, the dance-inspired ‘Keep Moving Forward’ feat. Nikka Costa - premiered by Rolling Stone, who praised the band for “holding onto some real ‘eclectic’ music”.

The upcoming project is the follow up to the band’s second album ‘GIRLFRIEND’, it's lead single ‘Heaven Angel’ and follow-up tracks ‘#1 Fan’ and ‘Leave Me Feeling Confident’, the band has been supported by the likes of Notion who praised ‘GIRLFRIEND’ as “their most inspired - and sonically diverse - body of work yet”, while Clash defined their sound as “vast alt-rock sound, with an endearing soulful groove”, with DORK praising “their ability to meld different genres while retaining that distinctive pop feel”, calling the album “a textured, smart modern pop rock record”.

Known for what Clash called: “intimate, high energy live show”, the band will bring their GIRLFRIEND WORLD TOUR to Europe - headlining for the first time ever - this very October. For tickets and VIP packages, please visit www.thedriverera.com.
