Robert Jon & The Wreck Tap Into Raw Reflection With New Stand-Alone Single “Back To The Beginning Again” Southern California roots-rockers Robert Jon & The Wreck return with “Back To The Beginning Again,” a powerful stand-alone single recorded at Sunset Sound in Los Angeles, self-produced by the band and mixed by engineer Alex Pasco. Anchored by stacked guitars, a swampy groove, and soaring vocals, the song is a textbook southern rocker, subtly infused with shades of ’90s grunge and alternative influences. STREAM “Back To The Beginning Again.” Watch the official music video HERE. “‘Back To The Beginning Again’ was written while on tour sometime last year,” shares guitarist Henry James. “The song reflects on deeper feelings of disillusionment and depression that happen while on tour and working in the music industry as a whole.” Built around a sludgy, bluesy riff and a howling Hammond organ solo by keyboardist Jake Abernathie, the track captures both the band’s introspective side and their trademark swagger. As Henry explains, “As we get more invested in the business, politics, and hustle of this life, it can become difficult to feel connected to the initial pureness and excitement of playing music that made us fall in love with it as children and teenagers.” Lyrically, the song yearns to return to that simplicity – “a desire to go back to those feelings of excitement and freshness from the early years of performing in bands.” The result is an emotionally charged reflection on mental health, purpose, and rediscovering the spark that first inspired their love of music. “Back To The Beginning Again” follows the band’s acclaimed studio album Heartbreaks & Last Goodbyes, out now via Joe Bonamassa’s Journeyman Records. Order it here. Produced by Grammy-winner Dave Cobb and mixed by Greg Gordon (Chris Stapleton, Sturgill Simpson), the album captures the group’s raw live energy across ten tracks, earning praise for its blend of “soulful storytelling and sheer rock-and-roll firepower.” – Classic Rock MagazineSince forming in 2011, Robert Jon & The Wreck – Robert Jon Burrison (vocals, guitar), Henry James (lead guitar, vocals), Andrew Espantman (drums, vocals), Warren Murrel (bass), and Jake Abernathie (keys) – have built a devoted global following through relentless touring and an unshakable live chemistry that bridges Southern rock tradition with California soul. Fresh off a European summer tour and a series of U.S. festival appearances, the band will join Samantha Fish for a West Coast run this November before launching their Heartbreaks & Last Goodbyes U.S. Tour in early 2025, with stops across the Southeast, Midwest, and Plains.

After years of perfecting strategies, while building Joe Bonamassa’s career, the company will utilize the same savvy tactics that allowed them to overcome industry barriers that typically held back artists from achieving success. Journeyman provides the infrastructure to take an artist from its infancy, to record music and tour without dealing with the typical resistance of “gatekeepers” who don’t believe in or support emerging acts. Bonamassa has been keen on using his experience to pay it forward to help other artists navigate the murky industry waters. Consequently, Journeyman sets itself apart in this way as being the true market maker for their artists. Robert Jon & The Wreck |
