On Friday, alt-pop favorites The Driver Era released their newest single, “Malibu“. 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 stated. “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 the band’s first single of 2022, the dance-inspired “Keep Moving Forward” feat. Nikka Costa, which was featured earlier this month on Rolling Stone. The two singles will be featured on the band’s Summer Mixtape, set for release later this summer.
After a successful run of sold out US shows in 2021 and Latin America shows earlier this year, the band will embark on their 2022 Summer Tour today, August 1st, hitting 24 cities across the United States and Canada. Following, the guys will continue their GIRLFRIEND WORLD TOUR, playing shows in Japan, Australia & New Zealand, and Europe & The UK for the first time ever as The Driver Era.

The band is set to play at New York City’s Rooftop at Pier 17 this Thursday and we are already counting down the minutes. Be sure to get your ticket ASAP because tickets are already low and sold out for many dates.
