Southern Rock and Southern Californian band Robert Jon & The Wreck has just released “Dragging Me Down,” the next single from their upcoming album Red Moon Rising. Set for release on June 28th, 2023 via Joe Bonamassa’s Journeyman Records, Red Moon Rising represents a new era for the band, steeped in a “spirit of renewal”.
The song went through several iterations before reaching its final form under the guidance of Producer Kevin Shirley. Recorded at The Village in West Los Angeles, California, “Dragging Me Down” is “a dramatic narrative of an ill-fated one-night stand”.
The release of “Dragging Me Down’ comes on the heels of the launch of the band’s 2024 tour, as Robert Jon & The Wreck hit the road for both the US and Europe.
