'It was an incredible honor to collaborate with Dave Cobb on our new record,' shares frontman Robert Jon Burrison. 'Not only has he worked with artists we deeply admire, but he's also been a producer we've respected for over a decade. Heartbreaks & Last Goodbyes feels like a true reflection of who Robert Jon & The Wreck is as a band. From the moment we arrived in Savannah, GA, to record, we felt an immediate sense of comfort and ease—something rare in a typical studio environment. Being away from our usual routines, living together, and immersing ourselves in the new songs from start to finish created an album we are incredibly proud of. We can't wait to share it with the world and bring it to life on stage.' Alongside the announcement, the band has shared their latest single, 'Highway,' a soaring, mid-tempo rocker that showcases everything fans have come to love about The Wreck: blistering twin guitar harmonies, emotionally charged vocals, and a driving rhythm section. Produced by Cobb and recorded in Savannah, 'Highway' blends the band's classic heartland sound with fresh, cinematic urgency. ''Highway' is a favorite of ours on Heartbreaks & Last Goodbyes—a song that started as a loose melodic concept on an acoustic guitar in Henry's apartment, and evolved into a full-blown powerhouse,' adds Robert. 'When we brought it into rehearsals in Costa Mesa, it just clicked with the band. Dave Cobb helped us elevate the track by pushing the tempo and building out the dynamics. Lyrically, it's a heartfelt love song—wide open, full throttle, and impossible to get out of your head.' 'It never strayed far from the original vision Robert, and I had,' notes guitarist Henry James. 'Cobb brought a new level of spontaneity and emotional edge to the sessions. This track hits hard and still gives you the feels—it's everything we love about rock 'n' roll.' According to bassist Warren Murrel, the Savannah sessions represented a major turning point for the band: 'For the first time in our band's history, we had the opportunity to live at the studio while recording. Instead of dealing with LA traffic and squeezing in sessions between other commitments, we got to immerse ourselves fully in the music—writing, recording, and refining songs every day for over a week. It was an experience that allowed us to be completely present in the creative process. Dave Cobb has a way of getting under the hood of a song, pushing it further than we ever thought possible. His guidance challenged us in the best ways and helped bring this album to life in a way we're truly proud of.' Heartbreaks & Last Goodbyes captures the band at a creative peak, drawing from real-life experiences of love, loss, and redemption. Across ten riveting tracks, Robert Jon & The Wreck explore the full emotional spectrum, delivered with thunderous riffs, razor-sharp grooves, and some of their most compelling lyrics to date. The album was mixed by Greg Gordon, known for his work with Chris Stapleton, Sturgill Simpson, Jason Isbell, and Rival Sons. It will be available on CD, limited edition colored vinyl, and in special merch bundles, including an exclusive shirt and bandana package. 'This album is a candid musical reflection of who we are today,' adds Henry. 'Tales of love gone awry, love gone right, camaraderie, estrangement, lessons learned, dark shadows, and bright lights—all wrapped into one.' 'Highway' follows the release of several acclaimed tracks from the upcoming album, including the fiery, John Oates co-written 'Long Gone,' the introspective ballad 'Ashes in the Snow,' and the high-octane 'Sittin' Pretty.' Each single has spotlighted a different facet of the band's evolving sound, building anticipation for what promises to be their most ambitious album yet. The band is currently on the road for a packed 2025 tour that includes headline dates across Europe and North America, plus appearances at New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival, Askena Rock Festival, Hookrock, and Chinook Fest. With stops in the UK, Germany, the Netherlands, and major U.S. cities from New York to Fargo, fans worldwide will get to experience the new songs live for the first time.

Robert Jon & The Wreck Unleash New Single ‘Sittin' Pretty,' An Explosive Track That Captures the Wild Side Of the Night
LOS ANGELES, CA, UNITED STATES, February 7, 2025 / / -- Southern California rock powerhouse Robert Jon & The Wreck are back with their latest high-octane single, 'Sittin' Pretty,' now available on all major digital platforms. The track, recorded in Savannah, GA, and produced by Dave Cobb (Chris Stapleton, Brandi Carlile, Rival Sons), delivers a raw and electrifying energy that showcases the band's signature grit and swagger. Stream 'Sittin' Pretty' HERE. WATCH The Official Music Video. With its ferocious riffing, searing guitar solos, growling Hammond B3 organ, and relentless rhythm section, 'Sittin' Pretty' is a hard-rocking warning to those who cross paths with someone who's as captivating as they are dangerous. ''Sittin' Pretty' was the working title that was birthed from a rocking jam in the writing room,' explains frontman Robert Jon. 'It's a hard-hitting track that warns the next one in line that she's dangerous. With powerful riffs and scorching guitars, the song references the wild nights that lead to the morning when those 'church bells are ringing.'' 'This song went through a number of different iterations before we landed on the version you hear today,' adds guitarist Henry James. 'I had a heavy rock, call-and-response riff with a vocal melody that we had been jamming on for a while. We built a structure around it, and it quickly became one of our favorite ideas going into the studio. In his own inimitable way, producer Dave Cobb worked his magic on the arrangement, having us shift a few things around and speed the song up a bit. We rolled tape, and in just a few takes, we had our basic track! Then we layered in guitar, vocal, and keyboard overdubs, and the vision for 'Sittin' Pretty' was complete. What we landed on was a rollicking, aggressive banger with furious drums, a flying bassline, and pure vintage guitar pyrotechnics!' 'Sittin' Pretty' offers the next look into a new chapter for Robert Jon & The Wreck, as the band continues rolling out a slate of fresh material for their new studio album in 2025. Following the release of 'Ashes in the Snow'—a stirring track highlighting the band's reflective side—'Sittin' Pretty' shifts gears with a more hard-hitting, high-energy approach. Blending vintage influences with a modern edge, the track further showcases the band's range and dynamic songwriting. Currently, amid their Winter U.S. Tour, Robert Jon & The Wreck continue to bring their electrifying live show to audiences across the country. Following a monumental year that included the release of Red Moon Rising Deluxe Edition and a triumphant European tour, the band is keeping the momentum going with a run of high-energy headline performances. The tour will lead into their upcoming appearances on the Keeping The Blues Alive at Sea X in March before they head back to Europe for a string of Spring 2025 tour dates.
