"When Tyler Hubbard and Brian Kelley decided to form Florida Georgia Line they had already been singing together. Both attending Belmont University the two sang in a worship group together quickly becoming fast friends. After college Hubbard and Kelley began performing together and working their way up. Eventually Signing to Republic Nashville both duo members along with their team had an idea they were onto something with their unique sound and tight harmonies. But likely no one could have predicted the success they would have with Cruise their debut single."

Underground artists were reacting against the slick production and excess of popular music in the 1980s. R.E.M. Dinosaur Jr. Meat Puppets and others were slowly building an audience on college radio and in small clubs with records that paved the way for Nirvana Soundgarden and Weezer to name a few. So its no surprise to hear that these alternative rock songs from the 1980s sound very much like the 1990s"
