Close Drive – “Race to You”

If you’ve ever felt that late-night rush to get to someone special, Close Drive’s “Race to You” is your new anthem. This Philly-bred indie rock track hits all the right notes, literally and figuratively, with its high-energy guitars, punchy drums, and lyrics are rich and unique.

Lead guitarist John Antoni wrote the track in a single day, inspired by those chaotic Philly commutes where every minute matters. Brandon Higgins’ vocals add a raw, heartfelt edge, drummer Kevin Sullivan’s tight, dynamic beats give the track its racing pulse, and the harmonies? Just a piece of art. It’s safe to say that “Race to You” is one of the best tracks I heard in the last two weeks. Close Drive’s sound here feels like the lovechild of gritty city energy and surf-rock breeziness, and I’m obsessed.

Also, they’re taking this banger on their first-ever spring/summer tour, which means you’ll wanna catch them live before they blow up. Listen to “Race to You” and do yourself a favor, follow the band on social media for more updates. You’ll wanna ride shotgun for whatever they do next in the rest of 2025.
