Carpool Tunnel Released New Single & Video “Two Tunnels”

SoCal rockers, Carpool Tunnel have announced their new album ‘Don’t Let Them Pass You By’, out 20th October 2023 via Pure Noise Records. To celebrate the announcement the band have released video for new single ‘Two Hearts’. Pre-orders of the new album are available – HERE.

Speaking on their latest new single, the band said: “”Two Hearts” is an upbeat, nostalgic song that invokes feelings of excitement and imagery of driving along the California coast with friends on hot summer days. The drums and bass line dance together throughout the song, resembling two hearts beating as one.”

While their sun-soaked sound harkens back to simpler times, CARPOOL TUNNEL literally wouldn’t exist without the power of modern technology. Like all great 21st-century relationships, a serendipitous swipe on an app – in this case Vampr, hailed as Tinder for musicians – brought singer/guitarist Ben Koppenjan and guitarist Bradley Kearsley together in 2017.

The Bay Area guitarists quickly bonded over a shared love of ’60s and ’70s-era classic rock like the Eagles and Fleetwood Mac, and the connection was immediate: Just a few weeks after meeting, the pair was in the studio recording their debut single, “Afterlight,” with Grammy-nominated producer Billy Mohler.

After the release of their first album BLOOM the brilliantly named band hit the road, bringing their California cool aesthetic and classically retro sound up and down the coast. In this live setting, free-wheeling and bereft of perfectionist attitudes, the group began laying the foundation for their long-awaited second album Don’t Let Them Pass You By.

The album, releasing October 20, 2023, via Pure Noise Records, puts Carpool Tunnel’s sandbar psychedelic sound on full display, swirling psychedelic rock and blues with sunny surf rock to create something that’s both nostalgic and fresh.
