“Dragging Me Down” is a “bonafide, heavy hitting riff-rock anthem,” according to guitarist Henry James. The song went through several iterations before reaching its final, compelling form under the guidance of legendary producer Kevin Shirley. Recorded at the prestigious Village in Santa MonicaCalifornia, “Dragging Me Down” offers a dramatic narrative of an ill-fated one-night stand, backed by punchy, overdriven guitars, pounding drums, and an anthemic vocal performance that demands audience participation. “Featuring punchy, overdriven guitars, pounding drums, and an anthemic rock vocal performance, this is sure to get you singing along & get your feet stomping!” says James.

The release of “Dragging Me Down’ comes on the heels of the launch of the band’s 2024 tour, as Robert Jon & The Wreck hit the road to bring the vibrant energy of their new material directly to their fans. With a schedule that includes intimate venues in PhoenixAZ and Santa FeNM, as well as international stops in cities like Milan and Barcelona, the tour promises a diverse array of performances.
