Rocky Lynch Latest News, Photos, and Videos

It’s been just over a month since we all heard, and proceeded to jam out to The Driver Era‘s debut single “Preacher Man”.

In a new interview with Galore, brothers Ross and Rocky Lynch opened up about their new music project and plans.

“There are a lot of songs we have coming that I’m really fond of,’ Ross says. “That’s really the strategy right now. I’m going to be in Vancouver filming for Sabrina, but we’re going to still be collaborating wirelessly.”

He adds, “The idea is to collect a whole bunch of these songs that we already have and finalize them. We’re going to release a bunch of singles and then eventually an album. We’ll be playing festivals, too.”

“I’d like to be a multi-format band where we find success in every single genre,” Rocky shared about the band, too. “So far, our single, definitely has that. We want to have a broad spectrum of music and a broad audience, and that’s the ultimate goal.”

Ross Lynch and his brother Rocky have now both switched up their hair colors and swapped each others color!

The Driver Era guys debuted their do’s together while appearing on a live stream with Entertainment Tonight.

While on the chat, the duo talked about their single “Preacher Man“, upcoming music, and Chilling Adventures of Sabrina, which is the reason why Ross dyed his hair.

Ross also revealed one person he would love to collaborate with, and we are totally here for it!

“I want to collaborate with Camila Cabello,” he said. “I’m just putting it out in the world because I feel like we have this amazing song that she would sound dope on.”

Ross Lynch blocks out the sun from his eyes at the start of The Driver Era‘s brand new music video for “Preacher Man”.

“It all kinda came really quickly,” Ross admits about the visual with Billboard mag. “When you’re supposed supply a song with visuals, you want it to make sense but you don’t want it ot be on the nose.”

He adds, “It was all kinda like a seamless process of how we got to that final product. It just kinda happened.”

Rocky agrees with his younger bro about how fast it all came together.

“It’s all been happening really fast. Up until this moment, we were kinda at a standstill,” he says. “We were kinda just brainstorming thinking how we wanted to approach The Driver Era, and everything just happened basically yesterday. I’m kinda like caught off guard a little, so I don’t know what to think of it yet, but it seems like people are liking it.”

The Driver Era just dropped their debut single and it’s amazing!

Made up of Ross and Rocky Lynch, the two opened up about why this track wasn’t fit for R5.

“For recent creations, the best outlet wasn’t necessarily R5, it was The Driver Era,” they shared with Billboard.

They added, “Our goal, as any artist should be, is to try and push the boundaries of not only ourselves, but of the music, and also excite people. As an artist, you want to entertain people.”

“The reason we started the Driver Era is just cause our creative endeavors sort of demanded it.”

When Ross and Rocky Lynch announced their new project, The Driver Era, not a lot of people actually got the meaning behind the name.

Now, the two brothers are explaining it to fans in their new interview with Billboard.

“There are a lot of cool side stories to The Driver Era,” Ross says. “There’s a lot of little inspirations here and there from different things we like. Really where the name came from was just a conversation that Rock and I were having about the future and stuff.”

He continues, “We’re always talking about anything future-leaning. Our biggest idols are people like Steve Jobs and Elon Musk, and people that are constantly trying to push the envelope.”

“We were just talking about all of the technological advances, and really exciting stuff like Space X. I think somewhere along the way, The Driver Era was mentioned in the conversation, and it just kinda had a ring to it. It felt nice. We decided it should be the band name.”

The Driver Era will release their debut single, “Preacher Man”, on Friday. Check out a new sneak peek below!

Earlier today, JJJ revealed what was behind R5‘s change to The Driver Era and now, there’s a sneak peek of their brand new music!

Ross and Rocky Lynch, who are writing, performing, and producing most of the tracks for the new era of music, have dropped a little snippet of “Preacher Man”, which will be out March 16th.

“From the title you might think there’s some kind of religious connotation there, but if anything there’s more of an atheist quality to it,” Ross says of the song.

If you’re still wondering about where Riker, Rydel and Ellington Ratliff fit into the new project, Ross and Rocky are wanting to surprise you. So stay tuned!

You might’ve noticed the change on R5‘s social media accounts, we know we did!

Rocky adds, “We are, of course, evolving and it’s natural to move forward with a new sound and outlook.”

The Driver Era will “capture a certain classic feeling while looking toward tomorrow” and will conjure 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.”

JJJ can tell you that the debut single, “Preacher Man”, is coming REALLY REALLY SOON!
