For die-hard The 1975 fans, many of you remember that the band's previous name was Drive Like I Do. Recently, frontman Matty Healy shared his insight about the group's future move as many are still waiting for the highly-anticipated record.
According to NME, the band had several monikers before they settled with The 1975. Some of their previous names were The Slowdown, Forever Drawing, Me and You Versus Them, Bigsleep, and more.
In a previous interview, the vocalist clarified that the group may have been working as The 1975 in recent years, they never forgot Drive Like I Do as both of them were "separate entities."
The last time he spoke about the old-named band was in 2020, saying he was working on getting his old songs remastered and they could release a possible album.
Today, Healy gave fans a straightforward answer about the undetermined project, saying he has a reputation for saying something that's not happening, including his previous claims of writing movies, music, and more.
The main reason why most of his promises never came to fruition is that he prioritizes The 1975 more and he's not doing it just for money, but rather it's more important.

Matty Healy Talks About Drive Like I Do's Music
The frontman noted that he created a four-track record for the band and he liked it. When he started editing the songs, he became busy producing for The 1975.
Despite not releasing any songs using their other moniker, he was able to let his fans have a taste of their music by giving it to Beabadoobee as she dropped the song "Pictures Of Us."
"There are two Drive Like I Do songs that I just want to put out, but then I'm like, 'When am I going to finish the EP?' It does exist and it is what you imagine," he added.
Looking back at their humble beginnings, Healy recalled the first gig he performed at the Macclesfield Old People's Centre where the venue used to do bingo.
Around 2003 or 2004, the band would play covers of hit songs like "My Own Worst enemy" and more. There were around 100 people in the crowd, but today, they could sell out arenas in different parts of the world.
The 1975's latest album, "Being Funny In A Foreign Language," is now available for purchase and streaming.
