Crashing Wayward have released the video for “Holding For Dear Life,” directed by Jack Banks, with the single hitting all platforms this Friday, February 27th via Golden Robot Records. The Las Vegas-based five-piece (Peter Summit on vocals, David Harris and Tucker Jones on guitar, Carl Raether on bass, and Jon Gunder on drums) built their reputation on their debut album ‘LISTEN!’, which earned a 7/10 from Classic Rock magazine and radio traction across the U.S. and Canada. “Holding For Dear Life” is the first look at their forthcoming six-song EP ‘The Fight Within,’ due in Q3 2026.
The single was produced by Shawn McGhee (Disturbed, Drowning Pool, Strung Out, Dark Chapel) and arrives with theatrical vocals, hypnotic guitar lines, and a lyrical core built around devotion, obsession, and survival. Lines like “Holding on to a modern love / Holding on to new religion / I’m saying my prayers tonight” frame love as faith and connection as something that can save or destroy in equal measure. It is the sound of a band working at full stretch, and it lands.
A national tour runs from late April through early May, opening April 23rd in Palmdale, California and moving through Kansas City, Sioux Falls, Rapid City, and Denver before closing May 9th in Draper, Utah, with a hometown Las Vegas stop at Backstage Bar & Billiards on May 6th.
