‘Dragging Me Down‘ is a “bonafide, heavy hitting riff-rock anthem,” according to guitarist Henry James. The song went through several iterations before reaching its final, compelling form under the guidance of legendary producer Kevin Shirley. Recorded at the prestigious Village in Santa Monica, California, ‘Dragging Me Down‘ offers a dramatic narrative of an ill-fated one-night stand, backed by punchy, overdriven guitars, pounding drums, and an anthemic vocal performance that demands audience participation. “Featuring punchy, overdriven guitars, pounding drums, and an anthemic rock vocal performance, this is sure to get you singing along & get your feet stomping!” says James.
The release of ‘Dragging Me Down‘ comes on the heels of the launch of the band’s 2024 tour, as ‘Dragging Me Down‘ hit the road to bring the vibrant energy of their new material directly to their fans. With a schedule that includes intimate venues in Phoenix, AZ and Santa Fe, NM, as well as international stops in cities like Milan and Barcelona, the tour promises a diverse array of performances.
Since their debut in 2011, ‘Dragging Me Down‘ have captivated audiences worldwide, turning the Southern rock sound on its head and making it distinctly their own. With Robert Jon Burrison‘s lead vocals and guitar, Andrew Espantman on drums and vocals, Henry James Schneekluth‘s lead guitar and vocals, Warren Murrel on bass, and the recent addition of Jake Abernathie on keyboards, the band’s synergy on stage is undeniable. As they embark on this next phase with ‘Red Moon Rising‘, they invite both long-time followers and new listeners to join in the celebration of their ongoing evolution and the indomitable spirit of rock ‘n’ roll.
