Drive North is the third studio album by the American rock band SWMRS, released on February 12, 2016, through their own label, Uncool Records. It was re-released by Fueled By Ramen on October 14, 2016 when they added the songs "Palm Trees" and "Lose It" to the record. It is the band's first studio album and second overall release under the name SWMRS after changing their name in late 2014. It is the first album to feature bassist Seb Mueller and guitarist Max Becker, who previously played bass. It is the band's first independent release and is also the band's first studio album not to be produced by drummer Joey Armstrong's father, Billie Joe Armstrong.
