ABOUT CRASHING WAYWARD
Crashing Wayward came together in 2020 with a shared urgency to create something real. Their debut album, LISTEN!, blends modern rock with sharp songwriting and a punch of emotion, capturing the tension and release of a world in lockdown. The lead single “Breathe” picked up traction fast, landing on major playlists and modern rock radio across the U.S. and Canada. Produced by Mike Gillies (Metallica, The Cult), the album introduced a band with something to say—and the sound to back it up.
They have just completed their follow-up album, set to be released on Golden Robot Records, working with producer Shawn McGhee (Disturbed, Drowning Pool, Strung Out, Dark Chapel). Crashing Wayward has been sharpening their live performance and growing their fan base with a standout appearance at Rock Fest and several national tours through 2025. With a heavier, more direct edge and a sound built for connection, the band continues to carve out its place in the modern rock landscape—loud, raw, and unapologetically real.
“Holding For Dear Life is yet another great single from one of my favorite emerging rock bands Crashing Wayward. Killer driving riff, great vocal , and ripping guitar solo. If you aren’t already on board with this kick ass band, this is a great place to start”.
Eddie Trunk - SiriusXM
“From its opening eerie guitar lines and rhythmic metallic crunch, it’s immediately clear that Crashing Wayward are kicking open a blazing new chapter with “Holding For Dear Life.” Peter Summit’ razor-sharp vocals achieve a new level of intensity as he ‘holds for dear life,’ as the Las Vegas-based band impressively whips up a controlled fury. Is it alternative rock? Is it metal? Is it goth? Crashing Wayward don’t have the time to worry about categories—they’re too busy making great music.”
Mitch Schneider - SRO PR
"Highly accomplished, genre-defying debut…an album that feels like it’s been created by a band with many years’ experience—tight, polished and very powerful…these 11 tracks of modern alternative rock are exercises in focused songwriting…a formidable debut.”
