Robert Jon & The Wreck are firing on all cylinders with their brand-new single “Back To The Beginning Again,” recorded at the legendary Sunset Sound in Los Angeles. The self-produced track finds the band digging deep into their Southern California roots, blending blues grit with 90s-inspired texture and raw emotional power.
Built on a swampy, slow-burning groove and layered guitars, “Back To The Beginning Again” captures the push and pull between the thrill of the stage and the grind behind the scenes. “The song reflects on deeper feelings of disillusionment and depression that happen while on tour and working in the music industry as a whole,” says guitarist Henry James.
Keyboardist Jake Abernathie brings the heat with a howling Hammond organ solo that cuts straight through the soul of the song. Meanwhile, the band’s signature harmonies and unshakable swagger ground the performance, giving it both bite and beauty.
“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,” adds James. That longing fuels the song’s emotional center – a yearning to rediscover the spark that first made music feel magical.
“Back To The Beginning Again” follows the band’s acclaimed album Heartbreaks & Last Goodbyes, released on Joe Bonamassa’s Journeyman Records. It’s a reminder that even in the grind, Robert Jon & The Wreck are still chasing that first spark – and lighting it brighter than ever.
