·22 min·2 clips

What's better than a toy drive combined with a blood drive? The band Boy Drive.

The episode begins with hosts Wayne and Josh humorously introducing the concept of a 'boy drive' before handing over to Luke for an interview with the band Boy Drive. Luke introduces Jake and Josiah, who explain that Boy Drive is an alt-pop indie band they started in 2019, releasing a song a month for over a year. They play a game matching Florida Man headlines to their personalities, with Jake associated with a Bermuda Triangle raft and Josiah with origami roses. The band discusses meeting in high school choir in Tampa and rekindling their friendship after college to write music together. They cite influences like Coldplay, The Police, and U2, and express a dream of touring with Coldplay. Jake and Josiah talk about the Florida music scene, describing their upbringing as 'cul-de-sac rock' and highlighting creative hubs in Lakeland. They reflect on their past year, including a show in Lakeland and releasing their EP 'Break', which deals with themes of heartbreak and resilience compared to their earlier EP 'Bloom'. The interview covers their songwriting process, with Jake building soundscapes and Josiah adding lyrics, exemplified by their song 'What Comes Around Keeps On Going'. They plug their social media and streaming platforms before the episode concludes with their song.
