Formed in 2012, Hell Drivers roared onto the scene supporting The Wilko Johnson Band at The Forum in Tunbridge Wells. Their debut album Songs of Roads and Love and Hate followed in 2013, earning strong radio play and an In Session feature on US station WSLR 96.5LPFM.
By 2015, with other projects gaining traction, the band pulled into the garage for what became a five-year pit stop. But lockdown reignited the engine, leading to the remote recorded release of Please Don’t Say Goodbye and a renewed sense of direction.
Fast-forward to 2023: ten years after their debut, Hell Drivers burst back onto UK stages, making serious noise at venues including The Cavern – Raynes Park, The Cart and Horses (birthplace of Iron Maiden), The Forum, Leo’s Red Lion, and more. Their catchy, chorus-driven rock proved a perfect match for festivals and support slots, including appearances alongside NWOBHM veterans Troyen and Andro Coulton (Witchfynde).
With their own headline shows gaining momentum, Hell Drivers are once again studio-bound. Their latest single Beautiful People (Can’t Do Right for Doing Wrong) dropped in June 2025, with second album Mild, True, Bitter, Lovedue September.
Hell Drivers are revved and ready. For 100% proof guitar-led rock ‘n’ roll at The Forum’s Local & Live afterparty Sunday 24th August—get ready for Paul, Ian, Graham and Gram. Get ready for Hell Drivers.
