Heffron Drive was a musical duo from the United States, consisting of Kendall Schmidt and Dustin Belt, both natives of Kansas. The group came into existence in 2008 after the two musicians connected and realized they resided on the same street—Heffron Drive—in Burbank, California.
History
The year 2008 marked the formation of Heffron Drive by Schmidt and Belt, taking its name from their mutual street in Burbank, California. They initially shared their music via MySpace, attracting early digital interest. In 2009, Schmidt became a member of the boy band Big Time Rush, which led to a pause in Heffron Drive's activities, while Belt joined as Big Time Rush's touring guitarist. Following the conclusion of the television show Big Time Rush in 2013, the duo revived Heffron Drive and resumed creating new songs.
On October 17, 2013, Heffron Drive revealed plans for a winter tour commencing on November 23 in Houston and wrapping up on December 22 in Los Angeles. Their first single, "Parallel," was launched in March 2014 and achieved a peak position of number 25 on the iTunes Pop charts. Later, on July 29, 2014, they announced their debut album Happy Mistakes along with an international tour. The song "One Track Mind" was debuted live on August 4, with the album officially released on September 9. Happy Mistakes reached number 84 on the Billboard 200 chart.
Heffron Drive released the single and accompanying music video for "Living Room" on January 14, 2017. This was followed by the single "Mad At The World" on January 19, 2018, and subsequently "Separate Lives."
