With the release of the "Back Seat Driver" single, 

Malibu Blackout takes some of the best elements of experimental alt-rock and breeds something all their own.

​

“Backseat Driver” explores the poppy, 00s indie rock side of the band’s stylistic spectrum with reverb washed guitars, big vocals, and dance rhythms. The new single takes this brand of indie rock and pairs it with lyrics that reflect on dealing with illness and not wanting to be a burden, while trying to cherish each day. This track highlights the versatility of the band coming off their last two singles “Racing in the Dark” & “The Rack,” both of which explored more of their desert rock / psychedelic side.

​​​

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.
