Alt-pop duo THE DRIVER ERA have unveiled their latest single, “Touch,” marking a powerful conclusion to an already standout year. The track is a dark, atmospheric addition to their discography, beginning with a moody bassline that sets the tone for Ross Lynch’s dynamic vocals. As the song builds, layered guitars and an urgent bridge deliver the intensity fans have come to expect. With lyrics like “There’s no time to waste,” “Touch” encapsulates the duo’s blend of emotion and energy.
This release follows a string of singles that defined THE DRIVER ERA’s musical evolution throughout 2024. October’s “Don’t Walk Away” explored the excitement of a whirlwind romance, while September’s “You Keep Me Up At Night” offered a catchy, hook-driven anthem. Earlier in the year, February’s “Get Off My Phone” leaned into a more alternative sound, reflecting the duo’s versatility.
Beyond their studio output, 2024 was a landmark year for THE DRIVER ERA as performers. Their first concert film, live at the greek, debuted in August on Veeps, immortalizing their sold-out 2023 show at the iconic Greek Theatre in Los Angeles. With over 500 million global streams, 75 million YouTube views, and 33 million combined social media followers, the band’s influence in the alt-pop space is undeniable.
The year also saw THE DRIVER ERA conquer stages worldwide, starting with a North American headlining tour. They followed with standout performances at Lollapalooza festivals in South America and a memorable set at Bonnaroo in Tennessee. In October, they wrapped up a European tour, captivating audiences across the continent with their electrifying live shows.
Looking ahead, the duo is gearing up for The Driver Era: Obsession Tour in 2025. Produced by Live Nation, the tour will span over 40 cities in North America, kicking off on March 7 at War Memorial Auditorium in Fort Lauderdale, FL. Stops will include major cities like Toronto, Boston, New York, Chicago, Las Vegas, Vancouver, and Portland, before concluding on July 18 at the Hollywood Palladium in Los Angeles.
“Touch” serves as a fitting finale to THE DRIVER ERA’s dynamic 2024, a year defined by artistic growth, global performances, and a steadily expanding fanbase. With the upcoming tour on the horizon, the duo shows no signs of slowing down, further cementing their position as a force in alternative pop.
