Single I Robert Jon & The Wreck – Rager
Robert Jon & The Wreck Unleash Thunderous New Single “Rager”
– A Heavier Take On Their Rock ‘N’ Roll Sound
Robert Jon & The Wreck are back with their most electrifying single yet, “Rager,” now available on all digital platforms. Renowned for their unique fusion of Southern rock, Americana, and blues, the band turns up the heat with this high-octane track. “Rager” channels the raw energy of vintage hard rock, combining fiery guitar harmonies, gritty organ and synth lines, and a thundering bass groove that builds toward an explosive, Deep Purple inspired finale. This track takes Robert Jon & The Wreck’s signature sound to new heights, delivering a powerhouse rock anthem that lives up to its name.
“What started as a loose, improvised jam turned into an atomic bomb of sonic fury,” explains lead guitarist Henry James Schneekluth. “This track was inspired by the glory days of 70s hard rock and features heavy, gritty organ & synth as well as a funky and raucous drum groove & bass line. We present to you a new level of heaviness to get wrecked to – ‘Rager’!”
“Rager” is the last single in a string of releases from Robert Jon & The Wreck’s critically acclaimed album Red Moon Rising this year. Produced by the legendary Kevin Shirley, Red Moon Rising has been praised for its innovative take on Southern rock, with tracks like “Dragging Me Down”, “Down No More” and the memorable “Ballad of A Broken Hearted Man” connecting deeply with audiences and critics. As the band continues to evolve musically, “Rager” stands out as their most intense and rock-driven offering yet.
With a relentless touring schedule, Robert Jon & The Wreck keep the momentum high. The band is on tour with upcoming dates across the US and Europe, including performances at major festivals like the Big Bender Blues Festival, Telluride Blues & Brews Festival, Bourbon & Beyond, Americana Fest, and Mempho Music Festival. Fans can expect to experience the raw energy of their new singles live, along with other hits from their expansive catalogue.
Since their debut in 2011, Robert Jon & The Wreck have captivated audiences worldwide, turning the Southern rock sound on its head and making it distinctly their own.
With Robert Jon Burrison’s lead vocals and guitar, Andrew Espantman on drums and vocals, Henry James Schneekluth’s lead guitar and vocals, Warren Murrel on bass, and Jake Abernathie on keyboards, the band’s synergy on stage is undeniable. As they continue to evolve beyond their latest studio album Red Moon Rising, the band remains committed to pushing their sound into new territory, offering a fresh, electrifying take on rock ‘n’ roll that both long-time fans and new listeners can enjoy.
