late night drive home - as i watch my life online

“…their sound, and goals, are all their own — reinventing indie music for a modern age while increasing representation for Latin artists in the genre.” – AP

“…an extraordinary fusion of different sounds and approaches.” – CLASH

“Somewhere between The Smashing Pumpkins and The Cribs, US band late night drive home are laying down a marker with a run of excellent singles in the run up to their debut full-length album due in late June.” – Wonderland.

Up next from their debut album, as I watch my life online, late night drive home today releases the third single “american church.” At first glance, the new offering is rooted in more tangible addictions than the last two singles. But as organic matter shifts into glitched-out cyberspace, the album’s ongoing throughline of mistaking online connection for something real is masterfully coded in. A metaphor for old habits turning into internet habits, late night drive home calls out the World Wide Web as the modern American church, and congregants can’t help but worship at its flawed altar — Stream.

“The first two songs on the record are really analog, but this one just glitches out on the outro — descending into digital madness,” guitarist Juan “Ockz” Vargas says. “That’s mirrored in the lyrics, which are about seeing someone you love spiral — whether because of the internet or another addiction.”

So far from as I watch my life online, late night drive home has released “terabyte” and “she came for a sweet time.” The former a rumination on an addiction to adult content and the unending cycle of seeking online validation and destroying self-worth. And the latter a case study on the endless, mindless swiping on dating apps that is so intoxicating. The band’s debut album will be released in full on June 27 via Epitaph.

Bringing their debut album to the road this summer, the as I watch my life online Tour begins in July in Austin, TX. late night drive home will play in some of the biggest rooms of their young career across 22 dates, culminating in a massive hometown show in El Paso, TX, on August 16. Throughout the dates, the band will be supported by ALEXSUCKS — See all dates here and contact us with any requests!
