The song has a retro vibe to it, where the listener can slightly recall Tal Bachman’s Juno-winning pop single “She’s So High,” which ought to be taken as a compliment. “Hey Anxiety” premiered in Groundsounds. In 2018, The Victory Drive have been out touring with such artists as Drake Bell and Aaron Carter.

A power-pop band, The Victory Drive is from Belmar, New Jersey. The Victory Drive’s music is available on iTunes. Fans and listeners can check out their distinct cover of Lady Gaga’s “Bad Romance.”
