"It feels like the type of song that soundtracks a particular moment or time in your life.”

After winning the internet earlier this week with a stunning cover of Untouched, Aussie legends Cub Sport have released new single Drive.

It’s the second track taken from their forthcoming album Like Nirvana, which has been pushed back to July 24 due to the COVID-19 crisis.

“Recognising the magic of life while it’s happening is something really special and that’s what Drive is to me; capturing that feeling,” frontperson Tim Nelson said.

“It’s a love song saying, 'You’re a dream and I still can’t believe you give a damn about me.’ There’s a purity to Drive that gives me the same warm feeling I get from Cocteau Twins’ Cherry-Coloured Funk, Cyndi Lauper’s True Colours and Mazzy Star’s Fade Into You. It feels like the type of song that soundtracks a particular moment or time in your life.”

Cub Sport are also offering a limited edition 'Virtual Meet & Greet' pre-order bundle for Like Nirvana.

Check out the new song below.
