So, I told you guys The Driver Era would be the next big thing. 

And guess what?

They are.

The brother-duo band, consisting of Rocky and Ross Lynch, now has 1.3 million followers on Instagram, and over 300K Spotify listeners per month.

Ross and Rocky are hot, hot, hot right now, and it’s obvious why – The Driver Era only has a few singles out right now, but the music that is out is alluring, well written, and extremely unique.

The duo just released their newest single, “Low,” about some personal experiences that Rocky had this past summer, and it’s a hit.

For December, Galore is focusing on our Crushes. We sat down with one half of The Driver Era and a major Galore Crush, bleach blonde Rocky, to discuss the band’s new single, his ideal first date, and what he looks for in a woman.
