Backstory:
Specific Car was formed in 2009 in the city of Seattle, Washington. The band started when four high school friends, Evan Shaw (lead vocals and guitar), Brian Miller (bass), Jack Peterson (drums) and Kevin Green (keyboard), decided to share their love for music. They started by playing in college events and local bars until they had their breakthrough in 2012 with their hit song, “Drive Again”. This led to performances in bigger venues and eventually a record deal. Their music is inspired by their love for vintage cars, their journey through life, and the city they were born and raised in.
Genre:

Title:
“Under The Neon Lights”
Full song Lyrics:
(Verse 1)
Am G D F
Driving down the boulevard,
Am G D F
Underneath the neon lights,
Am G D F
Our hearts are racing, just like the cars,
Am G D F
On this wild Friday night.
(Chorus)
C G Am F
We’re young and free in our Specific Car,
C G Am F
Let’s chase the moon, and reach for the stars,
C G Am F
Let’s drive away, no matter how far,
C G Am F
In our Specific Car, we are who we are.
(Verse 2)
Am G D F
Lost in the rhythm of the city’s heartbeat,
Am G D F
Navigating through life’s winding street,
Am G D F
With the radio playing our favorite beat,
Am G D F
In our Specific Car, life’s so sweet.
(Chorus)
C G Am F
We’re young and free in our Specific Car,
C G Am F
Let’s chase the moon, and reach for the stars,
C G Am F
Let’s drive away, no matter how far,
C G Am F
In our Specific Car, we are who we are.
