The band consists of lead vocalist and guitarist Jack ‘Chubby’ Lawson, bassist Eddie ‘Fuel’ Baker, drummer Jimmy ‘Stick’ Halter, and keyboardist Sarah ‘Keys’ Anderson. Despite their humorous self-deprecating name, they have always taken their music seriously. They worked their way up from playing in school talent shows to local bars, and eventually, their unique sound caught the attention of a record label.
Genre:
Chubby Fuel’s music straddles the border of Alternative Rock and Indie music with a twist of 90s nostalgia. Their sound is characterized by catchy hooks, powerful guitar riffs, infectious bass lines, and classic rock drumming with a unique modern twist.
Song Title:
“Midnight Drive”
Full Song Lyrics:
(Verse 1: G, Em, C, D)
[G] Underneath the [Em] starry night,
[C] We’re driving fast, [D] feeling light.
[G] The city’s far [Em] behind, out of [C] sight, [D] out of mind.
[G] You and me, [Em] lost in time, on this [C] midnight [D] drive.
(Chorus: C, G, D, Em)
[C] Feel the wind, [G] feel the rhythm,
[D] This midnight drive, [Em] we’re living.
[C] No road maps, no [G] sign,
[D] Just us and this [Em] midnight drive.
(Verse 2: G, Em, C, D)
[G] Streetlights flash in [Em] your eyes,
[C] Echoes of laughter, [D] lost goodbyes.
[G] The radio plays [Em] our song, as we [C] drive [D] along.
[G] Memories made, [Em] under the moon, [C] our hearts [D] in tune.
(Repeat Chorus: C, G, D, Em)
(Outro: G, Em, C, D)
[G] As the dawn [Em] starts to rise,
[C] We end our lovely [D] midnight drive.
[G] We’ve travelled far, [Em] travelled wide,
[C] Bound by the [D] love, we hold inside.
