Red Skies Dawning announce themselves with a bang and then some in the form of brand new single "Shipwrecked". The track is a statement, an announcement that their forthcoming hard rock LP isn't going to be playing around. The single was produced by Chris Dawson to capture a friendly vibe that is both aggressive and melodic yet vulnerable.
"Shipwrecked" originated as a small pop tune. But with some careful reshuffling and audacious creativity, it became a thunderous hard rock anthem. Beneath the heavy guitars and relentless drums lies the heart of a songwriter, one who has been beating with the same urgency that birthed its most ancestral form. The song navigates between gritty and melodic, showcasing a raw passion that leaves a lasting impression.
The production is smooth, but it maintains just enough filth to pay homage to the unrefined energy inherent in Alt-Rock and Metalcore. As the debut single off the forthcoming album, "Shipwrecked" sets high expectations and ultimately leaves fans wanting more. Red Skies Dawning has succeeded in transforming something rooted in pop into a dark, powerful, and irresistibly appealing entity. With "Shipwrecked," the band is raising a flag and challenging everyone listening to hold on tight and weather the inevitable storm that's coming their way.
