The Driver Era Unveil Fiery New Single 'Touch'
Listen to the new song from the alt-pop duo.
Powerhouse alt-pop duo THE DRIVER ERA, consisting of brothers Ross and Rocky Lynch, have released their new single, “Touch,” out everywhere now. Next month, the band will embark on their global “THE DRIVER ERA: The Obsession Tour” run, kicking off in Auckland on January 18th.
“Touch” is THE DRIVER ERA’s explosive finale to 2024, wrapping up an already epic year with an unforgettable punch. Kicking off with a dark, ambient bass that serves as a moody backdrop for Ross’ playful vocals, the track grows in intensity during the bridge with layered guitars as Ross suggests, “There’s no time to waste.”
“Touch” follows “Don't Walk Away,” the band’s October release, a bouncy track about a whirlwind romance, as well as September’s hook-laden earworm “You Keep Me Up At Night” and February single “Get Off My Phone,” a modern-day breakup anthem that had the duo stepping into a more alternative-driven sound. In August, THE DRIVER ERA premiered their first ever concert film, live at the greek, on Veeps, further immortalizing their June 11, 2023 sold-out performance at the legendary Greek Theatre in Los Angeles, CA. With over 500 million global streams to date, 75 million YouTube views, and 33 million combined social followers, THE DRIVER ERA have solidified themselves as a driving force in the alt-pop space.
2024 also marked an impressive touring year for THE DRIVER ERA, seeing them embark on a headlining North American run, followed by performances at Lollapalooza festivals in South America and an epic performance at Bonnaroo Music and Arts Festival in Tennessee. In October, they concluded an expansive European tour, bringing their electrifying performances across the continent.
The duo are set to ignite stages worldwide in 2025 with their highly anticipated The Driver Era: Obsession Tour. Produced by Live Nation, their massive 40+ city tour in North America launches on March 7 at War Memorial Auditorium in Fort Lauderdale, FL, and will journey through major cities, including Toronto, Boston, New York, Chicago, Las Vegas, Vancouver, Portland and more before a final stop in Los Angeles, CA, at the Hollywood Palladium on July 18.

With their signature sound and larger-than-life live show, THE DRIVER ERA has been praised by the likes of Rolling Stone, PAPER, MTV, and many others.
