In need of fuzzy guitars and a desert, prog, indie rock sound? Don't worry, Malibu Blackout has you covered. The latest and greatest from the already acclaimed band has plenty to offer in the way of fresh rock vibes.
"Backseat Driver" is their follow up to their last single, "Racing In The Dark" and the difference is that this new song has a more experimental and tripped out style.
It works well and the guys have no problem making things catchy with that pop tone making the release memorable.
BIO: Consisting of Nashville Natives Cory Calvin, Chris Husak, and David “Woody” Woods; Malibu Blackout formed in 2017 as three musical brothers that’s artistic journey has spanned over 15 years and four indie rock bands around the Nashville music scene.
They set a goal to have this band be something they could cherish and collaborate through for the rest of their lives purely for the love of creation and music. This 3 piece act put together two EPs and a full length album through the span of 2018 to 2023.
In early 2023 while finishing up their LP, The Nights Were Wrapped In Gold, their longtime friend Andy Blum joined the band to help bolster the guitar and vocal layers, catapulting their sound with an added dimension. The band, heavily influenced by Blum’s penchant for Fender blackface tones and Telecasters, veered into a new direction, combining western and surf guitar into their fuzz and octave drenched soundscape.
The band is currently working on their second LP, due out late 2025. While in the studio, Malibu Blackout continues expanding its footprint in the Southeast and Midwest.
