The Driver Era Release Double Singles “Don’t Take The Night” And “Can’t Believe She Got Away”; Fourth Studio Album “Obsession” Out April 11

Powerhouse alt-pop duo THE DRIVER ERA, consisting of brothers Ross and Rocky Lynch, release "Can’t Believe She Got Away". The track is the second of a double single release, following on the heels of "Don’t Take the Night".

“Don’t Take The Night” takes center stage with glimmering synths that recall the energy from 70s disco before another Hall of Fame bassline gives the song its immensely danceable groove. Handclaps abound, and during the chorus Rocky and Ross sound ready to soundtrack a Starsky & Hutch dance-off. Meanwhile, “I Can’t Believe She Got Away”, showcases the band’s deft touch as producers, giving the instrumental layers upon layers of subtle sounds that add up to create the crunchy, soulful groove over which they lament: “I can’t believe she got away.”

"Obsession", THE DRIVER ERA’s electrifying album follow-up to 2022’s Summer Mixtape, marks a bold evolution in the band’s artistry. With sharp, relatable lyrics layered over moody textures and infectious rhythms, the album embraces a more introspective songwriting style while refining their signature sound. Spanning 11 tracks, "Obsession" dives into love, longing, and loss, weaving a compelling sonic journey filled with electrifying riffs, rich synths, and powerful percussion, making it THE DRIVER ERA’s most dynamic release yet.

“The Obsession era began sometime last year when we started to compile a lot of these songs on a note in our phones...We started to collect all these songs and more that we were really loving and named the folder ‘Obsession.’ It was the truth of the situation - we were literally obsessed making these songs and just spent hours and hours with lots of love poured into them,” shares the band. “‘Obsession’ is our entanglement with searching for love and trying to not fall too deep into these bad habits.”

Rocky and Ross, who handled the vast majority of the songwriting and production themselves, wanted to create something unimpeachable, something that honored the confidence they had been fostering since their early days in the pop supergroup R5. Finally, with "Obsession", they have written the songs they’ve always heard in their head, with the confidence and maturity of artists who have been in this game for a long, long time.

The double singles follows singles “Same Old Story” and “Touch,” a fiery, moody offering, as well as “Don't Walk Away,” detailing a whirlwind romance and the catchy “You Keep Me Up At Night,”. All these tracks are featured on the upcoming album and earned the band support from BBC Radio 1, DORK, Vogue, Capital Buzz and more. With this double release, THE DRIVER ERA continues to cement their status as a dominant force in the alt-pop genre, with over 500 million global streams, 58 million YouTube views, and 28 million combined social media followers.

The band, which consists of brothers Ross and Rocky Lynch, aren’t new to the industry by any means. With their signature sound and larger-than-life live show, THE DRIVER ERA has also been praised by the likes of Rolling Stone, PAPER, MTV, and many others. Their studio albums are only one half of what makes THE DRIVER ERA special. From their beginnings as members of the band R5, the duo are veterans when it comes to touring. Known for creating a live show that doubles as a party, the band has sold out shows across the globe — reaching everywhere from Asia to the U.S. to Europe and South America (and everywhere else in between). In addition to being a dynamic and talented musician, Ross is also an acclaimed actor, starring in Netflix’s ‘Chilling Adventures of Sabrina’, the biopic ‘My Friend Dahmer’ and more. He was also featured in the viral music video for Troye Sivan’s, “One Of Your Girls.”
