The much-buzzed about music project from brothers Ross and Rocky Lynch – The Driver Era – have released their new single “Feel You Now” everywhere today via AWAL. “Feel You Now” is the follow up single to “Low,” which is currently climbing the charts at Alt Radio. Listen to “Feel You Now” here.
“‘Feel You Now’ is about the struggle between your head and your heart. Fear or love. A common topic of conversation for Rocky and myself,” stated Ross about the track. “This is the song that our uncle Shor thinks is a f’n smash.“
‘“Feel You Now,” continues The Driver Era’s excellent streak of singles with a bombastic chorus combined with silky, summertime grooves.” – Flaunt
“Feel You Now” is the third track release since the band’s first single, “Preacher Man.” “Preacher Man” debuted at #15 and #21 on Billboard’s Alternative & Rock Sales Chart, and currently sits at over 16 Million combined audio streams. Since its release, the band has graced the cover of Coup de Main, Ladygunn and Grumpy Magazine, and have earned praise from Billboard, V Magazine, Cosmopolitan, Live Nation’s Ones to Watch, Elle Magazine and more.
“Groovy strums, smoky synths, and an urgent beat merge with atmospheric vocal effects that give Rocky’s sultry delivery a depth that suits the song’s tenderness.” – Consequence of Sound
“Their new music feels fresh, alive and bursting with flavor.” – PAPER

About The Driver Era
Like the band name, the music of The Driver Era captures a certain classic feeling while looking toward tomorrow. With the two brothers, Ross and Rocky Lynch, writing, performing, and producing most of the tracks, their stylistically unpredictable pop also conjures up every romantic association with heading out on the open road: limitless possibility, the thrill of escape, a refusal to stay in one place for any real length of time.
With massive hooks and immaculate production, songs like “Preacher Man” and “Low” show the tight musicianship that Ross and Rocky have honed over the years in their longtime band R5-a five-piece whose self-produced 2017 EP New Addictions was praised as “full of sharply constructed pop confections” by Rolling Stone. It was during that band’s recent worldwide tour, the two began dreaming up a new project that would allow them to explore their more experimental tendencies.
“We had a bunch of songs we’d been gathering for a while,” says Rocky. Although they avoided restricting their vision to any specific sound or style, the duo did set some firm intentions for the new band: to create music without self-imposed limitations, and to always push for sonic innovation.
In between polishing off the new songs-and hitting the road for their first tour as The Driver Era, Ross is a critically acclaimed actor (he recently drew raves for his title role in the serial-killer biopic My Friend Dahmer and currently stars in Netflix’s The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina). And when they’re not actively creating, the two are often out riding around, listening back to mixes and working out song ideas, constantly expanding what’s possible in The Driver Era.
“A while ago I was reading a book that talked about how if you and a person are able to connect deeply enough, you almost form a third consciousness,” says Ross. “I think Rocky and I have that on some level. I don’t think either of us has felt so creatively charged up in a long time, and it’s just a really cool feeling. The whole thing’s opened up our minds in this amazing way.”
