Denver-based Rock band Wake Me have shared new single “Finger On The Trigger.” Accompanied by a music video, “Finger On The Trigger” considers the “seemingly-endless anxieties in everyday life and how easy it is to reach a breaking point.”

Produced by The Used guitarist Joey Bradford, “Finger On The Trigger” marks the beginning of a new era for Wake Me.

The band explains:

We had been exploring a new sound for our band with the combination of Collin at lead vocals and working with a new producer Joey Bradford of The Used. This is one of the songs we ended up being most excited about not only because we thought it was great, but it was also very different than what we had been doing and perhaps not exactly what other bands were aiming for.

Wake Me were founded in 2018 and have been working with Producer Erik Ron (Godsmack, Staind, Bush). They have shared stages with Avenged Sevenfold, Shinedown, Kim Dracula, Five Finger Death Punch, Pop Evil, Skillet, Of Mice and Men, Puddle of Mudd, Sevendust, August Burns Red, and more.

Wake Me have been working on singles over the past 5 years, also with producers such as Andrew Baylis (Jellyroll, VRSTY), Joey Bradford (The Used, Letter kills), and Hiram Hernandez (AILD, The Word Alive).  

The band blends Hard Rock, Pop, Metal, and Skate Punk and the quartet now features lead vocals and guitars of Collin Sanford, with original frontman Justin Ray stepping into lead guitar/backup vocal duty. The rhythm section includes Travis “Tricky” Authier (drums) and Carlos Martin (bass).
