IF NOT FOR ME TEAM UP WITH WIND WALKERS FOR NEW SINGLE “LIE AWAKE”

IF NOT FOR ME TEAM UP WITH WIND WALKERS FOR NEW SINGLE

“LIE AWAKE“

NEW SINGLE AVAILABLE ON FRIDAY, JULY 17

MUSIC VIDEO PREMIERE ON THURSDAY, JULY 16 AT 8 PM ET

Continuing the rollout for their forthcoming album, Pennsylvania’s metalcore outfit If Not For Me have unveiled their newest single, “Lie Awake” featuring Wind Walkers, out Friday, July 17 via Thriller Records. The accompanying music video premieres the night before at 8 PM ET ahead of the song’s release at midnight.

Speaking on the release, vocalist Patrick Glover shares, “’Lie Awake’ to me is almost like a spiritual successor to ‘Feel Me Now’ that takes the story a little deeper. I just love the dynamic of a toxic love that feels good on the surface, but you both know you’re only hurting each other in the end. I think what landed so hard with people in ‘Feel Me Now’ is the descriptive imagery, so I wanted to play really heavily with that lustful desire in the chorus with lines like ‘feel my hands running down your face’ and ‘did you forget how I made you shake, how I taste’ but then totally contrast it in the back half with ‘does it hurt when you scream my name,’ ‘I’m your pain,’ etc. It just feels like such a relatable story that we’ve all had to go through at one point or another and may even still keep us up at night.”

IF NOT FOR ME – “LIE AWAKE” FEAT. WIND WALKERS

“Lie Awake” dives into the complicated cycle of a relationship that’s impossible to let go of, even when both people know it’s doing more harm than good. Torn between desire and heartbreak, the song explores how memories of someone can linger long after they’ve left, blurring the line between comfort and destruction. It’s a reminder that some relationships leave a lasting mark, making it difficult to move forward even when you know it’s the only way to heal.

Wind Walkers vocalist Trevor Borg shares, “When the guys in If Not For Me asked me to be part of this song, it felt like a collaboration that had been a long time coming after years of crossing paths through Wind Walkers and working with many of the same people. From recording with the same producer to working with the same videographer, everything felt effortless—they’re not only incredible musicians but also genuine friends. Knowing we’ll be hitting the road together this fall makes this release even more special, and I’m grateful they trusted me to be part of such an incredible song.”

ABOUT IF NOT FOR ME

Hailing from Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, If Not For Me has steadily grown into a powerhouse voice in the modern metalcore scene. Made up of Patrick Glover on vocals, Hayden Calhoun on guitar, Zac Allen on bass, and Cody Frain on drums, the band pairs driving heaviness with a strong instinct for melody. Drawing from their shared roots in the Central Pennsylvania music scene, the four-piece builds songs that balance weight and atmosphere with soaring hooks and emotionally grounded songwriting.

Inspired by bands such as August Burns Red, Killswitch Engage, and Bring Me The Horizon, If Not For Me pull from the foundations of heavy music while allowing their songwriting to stretch beyond strict genre lines. That influence comes through in every live performance. The band has shared stages with acts like Make Them Suffer, Memphis May Fire, Electric Callboy, Bury Tomorrow, and Set It Off, and has appeared at Vans Warped Tour Long Beach, Welcome To Rockville, and the Summer School Tour. Fresh off a three way headliner, the band is prepairing for an upcoming festival appearance at Inkcarceration, a tour alongside Memphis May Fire this summer, and a tour with Wind Walkers this fall.

What sets If Not For Me apart is their ability to channel raw emotion without losing the scale and power of their sound. Their songs invite listeners into something personal while still delivering the impact expected from the genre. As they continue to tour and release new music, the band remains focused on creating moments that resonate far beyond the stage.

Band Members:

– Patrick Glover (vocals)

– Hayden Calhoun (guitar)

– Zac Allen (bass)

– Cody Frain (drums)
