One: I hope this is the album. Two: if it is, I hope all the songs you recently released will be included on it because they deserve an album to call home.

More on The Driver Era
The duo recently released a new music video for their latest single, “Welcome To The End Of Your Life.”
The genre-defying band previously released singles “Preacher Man,” “Afterglow” and “Low.” Their last single, “Feel You Now,” dropped in March and got its own music video soon after.
“So far, every song we’ve released seems to fit into a different genre than the one we released before it,” Rocky shared in a previous interview with AP. “It branches into that electronic-pop, and then two minutes in, it washes into this Beatles-esque thing.”
When writing, the brothers trust their instincts to “create for the moment,” making “whatever feels right at the time.”

“Sometimes restrictions can be good for creativity,” Ross explains. “But we’re trying not to have any preconceived notions as to what we should create.”
“It just keeps everything fresh,” Rocky continues. “You don’t know what you’re going to get when you’re on our Spotify page, and we really like that.”
Check out “Welcome To The End Of Your Life” below.
The Driver Era are currently on AP #371. The issue is available for preorder now here and below.
