Southern rock band Robert Jon & The Wreck are thrilled to announce the release of their latest album, ‘Red Moon Rising‘, available now on CD, 180-gram coloured vinyl, and on all digital platforms via Joe Bonamassa’s Journeyman Records. Produced by the legendary Kevin Shirley, the album offers a fresh take on Southern rock with its funk-infused rhythms and thought-provoking lyrics, signalling the band’s evolution into a new musical era with a rapidly growing fanbase.
The band has also unveiled a music video for their latest single, ‘Down No More‘, a joyful, breezy, acoustic-driven, country-pop leaning track that showcases their versatility and knack for storytelling. “‘Down No More’ is a song we co-wrote with Dylan Altman (Tim McGraw, Jason Aldean) during a trip to Nashville,” Robert Jon adds. “This song reveals that you can be down on yourself or down on your luck but there’s always a bright side and you don’t have to be down no more.”
