Following the emotional impact of his recent single “Into Thin Air”, rock drummer and solo artist Jeff Fabb returns with a gripping new release, “Listen to Hear” — a reflective, introspective track that challenges the listener to go beyond passive hearing and truly listen.
At its core, “Listen to Hear” explores the difference between hearing and listening — between sound and meaning. It’s a call to mindfulness in a world filled with noise. Fabb crafts lyrics that push for internal clarity, focusing on what it means to consciously tune into not only others, but ourselves.
“This song is about being present — not just hearing the world around you, but truly listening to it. Listening to your instincts. Listening to what’s inside. That’s where the answers live.”
– Jeff Fabb
Musically, the track builds on Fabb’s signature fusion of hard rock grit and melodic introspection. Soaring guitars, pulsing rhythms, and haunting vocal melodies evoke comparisons to Alice In Chains, Tool, and Soundgarden — yet the voice and message are unmistakably his own.
The track’s sonic intensity is matched by its lyrical depth. “Listen to Hear” speaks to anyone caught in the chaos of modern life, reminding us that clarity and peace come not from volume, but from intention.

JEFF FABB, the powerhouse drummer turned dynamic solo artist, releases his most vulnerable single yet with “Into Thin Air”—a soaring rock ballad drenched in themes of love, loss, and the fleeting nature of time. Following the success of his well-received solo debut Stealing Souls, Fabb returns with a track that dives even deeper into personal reflection and emotional honesty.
Anchored by gritty, evocative guitar work and Fabb’s signature soulful vocals, “Into Thin Air” explores the painful beauty of impermanence. The accompanying music video—featuring metaphorical imagery of pirates lost at sea—mirrors the emotional turbulence of the lyrics.
“This song is definitely about loss, love, life… it’s also the realization in one’s life of how much there is to be grateful for, and how short life really is,” says Fabb. “It’s for everyone who has experienced this—and for those who will. Even when things vanish into thin air, we find the strength to keep going.”
With lyrical lines like “Slipped through my fingers, vanished into thin air… only in my dreams, I will be with you,” the track resonates universally for anyone who has endured heartbreak, grief, or personal crossroads. Musically, the single channels the spirit of Alice in Chains, Soundgarden, and Led Zeppelin, while maintaining Fabb’s fresh and distinct sonic identity.
Fabb, best known for his work with Sixx:A.M., Filter, In This Moment, and Black Label Society, has spent decades shaping the backbone of rock and metal. With “Into Thin Air,” he steps boldly into the forefront as a solo artist unafraid to get personal and profound.
About Jeff Fabb
A veteran of the rock and metal world, Jeff Fabb’s career spans decades of influential performances and recordings. From Long Island roots to the Sunset Strip, Fabb’s drumming has powered the music of In This Moment, Filter, Sixx:A.M., and Black Label Society. Launching his solo career in 2023 with the album Stealing Souls, Fabb expanded his artistry into songwriting, guitar, and vocals, blending hard rock grit with heartfelt depth.
Drawing from influences like Mad Season, Tool, Black Sabbath, and Led Zeppelin, Fabb continues to evolve his sound with each release—uncompromising, introspective, and unmistakably his own.
Making his name in ground-breaking heavy metal bands such as Black Label Society, Sixx:A.M., and Filter, Jeff Fabb decided to pioneer his own sound with his debut album released in November of 2023, and plans to release more original music this year. Following the success of his most recent release “See No Evil”, his heavier new single and music video for “Love and War” is out now.
Inspired by Fabb’s move to Los Angeles after high school, “Love and War” is about embracing the human experience, and how the path to success is often marked by many obstacles to overcome. With slamming drums and opening lyrics like “Everlasting, adulation, will you let me empty my feelings? Waiting in the black…” the song and accompanying music video embody the feeling of being a small fish in a big pond and being unsure of what’s to come.
The song continually balances the feelings of the pain and the pleasure that comes with chasing your dreams. On one hand, Fabb speaks to the painful and uncomfortable feeling of the unknown, with powerful lyrics like, “No matter the road, lonely and so cold. Never thought I’d be so lost at sea. My mind is the catch tangled in the net.” These sorrowful lyrics are accompanied by dark, heavy metal instrumentation and solo shots of Fabb to highlight these isolated feelings.
Later in the song, however, he shifts out of focusing on this pain by highlighting the beautiful nature of the unknown, and embracing your destiny, with uplifting, fast-paced guitar and lyrics like, “It’s written in the stars above, it’s inevitable.” The lyrics and instrumentation are accompanied by vast shots of the city of Los Angeles, and a teen coming to terms with his fate.
“On our path to success, we come across many situations where people acted against us and did not follow the rules, it seemed unfair. Instead of taking it personally, we must remember, all is fair in love and war.” – Jeff Fabb
With influences such as Alice In Chains, Soundgarden, and Led Zeppelin, Fabb incorporates elements of metal, adding his sonic flair with modern touches of psychedelic rock. Straying from the style of his previous release “See No Evil”, “Love and War” leans more into Jeff’s musical roots and metal abilities, while also maintaining a new-age psychedelic undertone. Centering around his move across the country to the Silver Lake area of L.A. in 1988, “Love and War” explores themes of hardship, feeling out of place, and navigating the obstacles that life throws in the way to come out on top in the end.
With a full-length album on the way, Fabb states that this record will be more dynamic than any of his previous work and will continuously center around themes of overcoming hardships through perseverance. “Love and War” is a sneak peek into Fabb’s journey and is a message to welcome a “don’t play the victim” mindset, speaking to his ability to overcome uncertainty to pave his own path and success in his musical career.
“Love and War” will be followed by “Into Thin Air” and a full-length album later this year.
