Southern California’s modern rock torchbearers, Robert Jon & The Wreck, have just released their powerful new single, “Boss Man,” alongside the Red Moon Rising Deluxe Edition, now available on all digital platforms. This Deluxe Edition features the original tracks from the band’s 2024 album, Red Moon Rising, the two CD Bonus Tracks “Hate To See You Go” and “Rager” along with two brand new songs, “Boss Man” and “Life Between The Lines,” making this a must-have for long-time fans and newcomers alike.
“’Boss Man’ is an anthem calling for unity and awareness amongst all people,” guitarist Henry James explains.
“It’s a cautionary tale involving environmental, humanitarian, and political concerns. It asks for us all to consider that all people in power (and those vying for political office) do not necessarily have our best interests at heart and to be wary of the potential for deceit. It asks the listener to stand together and care for their neighbours, families, and friends.”
The new single, produced by legendary producer Kevin Shirley (Led Zeppelin, Aerosmith, Joe Bonamassa), embodies the band’s trademark southern rock sound while incorporating poignant, socially aware lyrics, giving listeners a fresh perspective on the band’s ever-evolving musical journey.
Red Moon Rising features a blend of powerful storytelling and diverse musical influences, with standout tracks such as “Ballad Of A Broken Hearted Man,” which has hit over 1 million views on YouTube, “Give Love,” “Dragging Me Down,” and “Worried Mind” showcasing the band’s ability to connect deeply with their audience. With its dynamic range and emotional depth, Red Moon Rising set a new standard for the Southern California rock genre.
Building on their standout performances at Americanafest and ahead of a packed Fall 2024 European Tour, Robert Jon & The Wreck are gearing up for their highly anticipated headlining dates across the U.S. in 2025. Fans can expect the band’s signature blend of powerful storytelling, dynamic musicianship, and electrifying guitar solos – elements that have solidified them as one of the most exciting live acts in modern rock today.
