AFTERDRIVE 'Fashion' single release show live at The Social, London on Monday 9th March.

AFTERDRIVE return with their new single Fashion, out February 25th 2026, a dark, hazy dive into modern romance. Pre-save Fashion here. To celebrate the release, the band will play a headline London show at The Social on March 9th.

AFTERDRIVE are a band on the rise, locking into a sound that feels both fresh and inevitable. Their new song Fashion plays like a future classic - uptempo, modern, and confidently fusing their influences with standout performances. More than just another guitar band, AFTERDRIVE push beyond their roots, layering contemporary synths and electronics beneath vocalist Ben Watts' effortlessly cool delivery.

Last year saw the band support Ed Sheeran at his Portman Road stadium show and most recently release their song Necklace in November. They received lots of support from Radio 1 where Alyx Holcombe played and said: “A band who is brand new to the show and I don’t think I’ve ever fallen in love with a band as quick as this to be honest. Kinda giving me the Weeknd fused with the 1975 vibes”. They also have had multiple plays by Jess Iszatt on her Radio 1 show too. AFTERDRIVE were asked back for a second live session last year by their local BBC Introducing show hosted by Angelle Joseph, who has been a regular support. As well as on radio, the band have had support from the likes of Rolling Stone UK, Kerrang, The Independent and many other key tastemakers.

AFTERDRIVE are Ben Watts (Vocals), Ed Ruff (Bass), Joe Watts (Drums) and Luke Ellis (Guitar).
