This page accompanies the main Drive Thru page which you can find here and lists the soundtracks on each Drive Thru. Note, the information is gleaned from the DVD release’s main feature and excludes the bonus clips. As far as I know the tracks are listed here in the order in which they appear in the film.

If you’re watching DT on Fuel or ESPN or some Extreme Sports Channel then the track listing may differ because these cable channels edit the films for release or may air them in parts omitting certain sections for the audience. My advice — buy the DVDs, trust me, you’ll watch ’em again and again.

  21. CJ on January 14, 2009 2:30 am

    there i was one track in Drive Thru South Africa that I missed getting a look at the title of. The band sounded a lot like Modest Mouse (and may have been) but it wasn’t “Ocean Breaths Salty” as written on the list. Sorry for giving a lame explanation but if anyone could help me out that’d be great.

  22. CJ on January 16, 2009 12:48 am

    No worries. I got it. It was “Falling Out” by The Sammies. Wicked song, check it out.

  23. Josh on March 4, 2009 5:20 am

    Looking for the song featured in DT Europe when Slater is leaving and Pat meets Kiwi (the guy that works for hurley) while driving the RV in France. It’s also in DT South/Central America when Ozzie and the crew are surfing a little offshore left in Chile? The vocals are by a chick or at least it sounds like…I’ve been looking for this track everywhere and can’t seem to find it!!

  24. Josh on March 4, 2009 5:32 am

    Oh yeah, I saw it on fuel TV….

  25. Matthew on March 12, 2009 9:51 pm

    Huuuuge props for this list!

  26. hugo on April 3, 2009 12:38 pm

    I.m going nuts..can’t find the song in the following clip:

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x1v5r2L__co

    I’m 100% sure its in drive thru Europe at the end when Kelly has his last session in France with his mates.

    Please help me

  27. pcoletti on April 4, 2009 1:04 pm

    No idea dude, but the credits at the end of that video give you a clue . . Chris cote is a musician who was in DT Europe … try contacting him directly. I think he was in a band called Kut U Up once.

  28. martie on May 2, 2009 1:36 am

    Dudes! In the first episode of the Europe trip, the first track by South “A Place In Displacement” isn’t listed on any other interwebs? But it is there just in case anyone is interested. And there is another track missing, the one right before the crews first surf session in Italy. Can anyone help out?

    Thanks!

  29. Albert on May 5, 2009 2:07 pm

    hey guys, there’s something i really like to ask, about a missing music in the Drive Thru Caribbean soundtrack, the reggae music in that movie. i dont know the tittle and the artist. but the song goes like this. “children crying all over the world” help me guys who know the artist and the tittle of that song, because my band would like to play that song. you can email in skim_rasta626@yahoo.com thank you so much. jah blees!

  30. pcoletti on May 5, 2009 6:01 pm

    Albert, are you sure you’re watching the DVD? There’s no reggae on DT Caribbean as far as I can see.

  31. Eduardo L. on May 19, 2009 6:02 pm

    HEllo

    Can you please tell me the name of the song and band in which is played on the drive thru Australia, on the special section of UNDERWATER on the bonus KM? THanks

  32. pcoletti on May 22, 2009 9:50 pm

    Eduardo, the song is Fought and Won One by Reggie and the Full Effect.

  33. jonathan on June 25, 2009 1:36 am

    what is the song that starts with a guitar playing slowly?

  34. Tom C. on July 15, 2009 8:54 am

    This is great! Good job. There is one missing on South Africa – “Modern World” by Wolf Parade. It’s from a really good album by the way.

    Do you have any idea who performs the songs on the 2nd disc for New Zealand? I love that music.

  35. roberto g on July 16, 2009 3:55 am

    what’s the theme song on the beginning of every drive thru? when they show everybody’s names..
    thanks

  36. Yoni on July 17, 2009 5:41 pm

    Hey, Thanx So much for this track list! I can not seem to find “I wanna go out” by tangiers on itunes….ANyone know why?

  37. pcoletti on July 17, 2009 8:33 pm

    Yoni, it’s probably ‘cos Tangiers are a small garage band with no muscle to get onto itunes. You can buy the album from amazon.ca though . . .to be honest though, the rest of the album ain’t that good.

  38. Ryry Rich on July 23, 2009 11:28 pm

    yo anyone know what the title track to DT Europe is? rackin my brain tryin to find it

  41. Jon Thompson on September 16, 2009 11:47 pm

    I have been trying forever to find the name of the song that is in the drive thru south central america movie. I am almost positive that it was a mars volta song but can’t find the name. Not sure if it was in the movie or just when they showed it on tv on Fuel??? Please help!

  42. pcoletti on September 17, 2009 10:55 am

    Jon, what are the lyrics? When in the film is the song?

  43. Jon Thompson on September 17, 2009 12:59 pm

    It was during the part where they surfed the beach break in Panama. I saw it on Fuel but haven’t been able to find it again???

  44. pcoletti on September 21, 2009 8:58 pm

    Jon, you’re thinking of My Chemical Romance, “The JetsetLife is Gonna Kill You” or The Von Bondies, “C’Mon C’Mon”, or Muse, “Hysteria” . . . all these tracks are around the Panama section and all are (kind of) a little bit like Mars Volta.

  45. august on September 30, 2009 4:44 am

    i tought that i could heard in drive thru australia some music of men at work..

    it could be true? or i’m a lil bit confused about that?

    i know the song but i don’t know what’s the name.

    all good to ya

  46. pcoletti on September 30, 2009 9:48 pm

    August, you’re thinking of the opening theme to DT Oz I. It’s a cover of Land Down Under by Pennywise.(I think)

  47. august on October 1, 2009 2:36 am

    Pcoletti,

    thanks bro, exacly this one.

  48. jon thompson on October 1, 2009 2:26 pm

    Paul,
    No, unfortunately those are not the songs. I am positive it was Mars Volta. I have noticed that when fuel plays these shows they have changed the music for the TV shows. Some of the exact same episodes have different songs. I remember all three of those songs, but can’t find the Mars Volta one.

  49. Marco on October 11, 2009 11:12 pm

    I try to find the name of a song in drive thru south centrala america plays in part the guys have batman clothes and starting ride in moto 4 whells and some guy drinking for the mask in face, some” it’s time to tell this place down” “ive come asking on my mind” please someone help me

  50. Dom on October 23, 2009 7:10 pm
