Bastille today performed their track that features on BBC Radio 1 Rescores: Drive, curated by Zane Lowe.

At an exclusive event held at Central St Martins, London, the indie-pop quartet played new song "The Driver" alongside a scene from Drive in front of an audience.

Zane Lowe also spoke about the rescoring, which is the first time Radio 1 has embarked on such a project.

Answering a question on why Drive was the chosen film, Lowe said: "We love the film. We love the soundtrack. We didn't know what, if any, insurmountable hurdles would be in the way."

Bastille frontman Dan Smith, who also sat in on the Q&A, admitted the experience was "daunting".

"I'm a film geek and it was daunting but I'm sure everyone felt the same", he said.

Lowe shared more details after the Q&A, including how Banks was the only artist who wrote the music to no set scene.

BBC Radio 1 Rescores: Drive premieres on BBC 3 this Thursday at 10pm.
