Waterloo Revival’s debut single, “Hit the Road,” was born from an idea they were pitched by one of their best friends from high school. George Birge says, “(He) has pitched us songs for probably four years, (and he) came up to us with this idea for a song called, ‘Hit the Road’, and we loved it. We thought it was just like a really liberating song, like everybody has the opportunity to get away and take this road trip and make themselves happy, and we thought that it was just an awesome concept for a song.”
“Hit the Road” will be on Waterloo Revival’s debut album, which they are currently recording.
