Sometimes it takes very old friends to do something brand new. Introducing Rightfield, the fan-addicting, genre-bending Dallas/Nashville duo that’s making a sound you’ve never heard before but will yearn to hear again and again. Their catalog of intimate bangers has now garnered over SIX million streams on Spotify and climbing. Yes, intimate bangers. There feels like no other way to describe songs that could rev up an arena and keep everyone happy at a backyard cookout — songs that are somehow both sweeping and intimate, bold, and personal.
“Boys Don’t Cry (feat. JordyPurp)” is the third single off of Rightfield’s upcoming sophomore album, and it’s special in more ways than one. This big, hype, gritty earworm not only features hip-hop-meets-punk-pop wordsmith JordyPurp – a fellow genre-bending rising star, and collaborator of artists like As It Is, set it off, and FEVER 333 – who absolutely crushes his emotional verse, but it also touches on a heavier perspective lyrically than listeners are accustomed to hearing from Rightfield. It’s about growing up in the south, around a certain type of show-no-emotion hyper-masculinity, where you have to be everything your dad wants you to be. The theme throughout the track centers on the toxicity of a “rub some dirt in it” mentality, but despite its loaded lyrics, the track is sonically fun, loud, and amped all the way up – sure to get Rightfield fans moshing the night away.
Jack Blocker and Reed Hoelscher grew up together – a duo from Dallas from the very beginning. The pair had shared their love of sports and making music since childhood, but it wasn’t until they became college roommates that they realized they also shared a lifelong dream: to create the biggest band ever, and to make music that the entire world would want to scream along to for decades to come, and thus, Rightfield was born. The vision was so clear that Jack dropped out of college and Reed passed on a few cushy job offers to pursue Rightfield full time. The pair’s charisma and talent especially shines through on stage, as proven by their sold-out shows, both across Texas and along their 2021 national tour with The Orphan The Poet and Friday Pilots Club. More recently, Rightfield has dazzled crowds supporting acts like joan and Mae. In addition to their live talents, their ability to craft stadium-worthy earworms led to their hit song “Gone!” breaking the top 50 at Alternative Radio last year. With their highly anticipated new album dropping in 2022, you’ll see Rightfield’s meteoric rise. And if you don’t see it, it’s because you’re late.

Band’s quote on song – “‘Boys Don’t Cry’ is about us growing up in the south around a certain type of show no emotion hyper-masculinity where we had to be everything our dads wanted us to be. When I was nine, I broke two of my fingers at school but we had a baseball tournament the next day and my dad was the coach so he asked me if I was good to still play the tournament and of course, I said yes instead of getting my fingers fixed. To this day I don’t have use of one of my fingers because I thought the right thing to do was “rub in the dirt” and move on.
From Abir (VP of Quadio Records) on collaboration – “We’ve all been big fans of Jordypurp’s music, especially his song ‘IN THREES’ with AS IT IS/Set it Off, and ‘PTSD’ with Fever 333. He’s the definition of a genre-bending/genreless artist. With Rightfield exploring new sounds and territory on this upcoming album, he seemed like a perfect fit for them to collaborate with. Every person involved with this song really played an integral part in bringing it to life. We knew it would be special from the first demo that came out of a co-write with Little Hurt, to the production touches Zach Jones & Reed (Kid Cowboy) from Rightfield put on it.”
