Heffron Drive was an American duo formed by Kendall Schmidt and Dustin Belt, both originally from Kansas. [1] [2] It was originally formed in 2008 after Kendall and Dustin met each other by chance and realized they lived on the same street, Heffron Drive, Burbank, California. [3]

History

In 2008, Kendall Schmidt and Dustin Belt formed the band Heffron Drive. The name refers to the street on which both members lived, Heffron Drive, in Burbank, California. [4] [5] In 2009, Schmidt joined the boyband Big Time Rush and Heffron Drive was on a break. [6] In May 2013, after Tanya Chisholm said that the series Big Time Rush was not being continued, Heffron Drive was revived. [7] On October 17, 2013, it was announced that Heffron Drive would be going on a winter tour; it started in Houston on November 23, and ended on December 22 in Los Angeles. [8] [9] On January 14, 2017, the band released a new song and music video for their single "Living Room". Their next release was on January 19, 2018 when they released a new song and music video titled "Mad At The World", and later "Separate Lives".
