New York City-based Alternative Rock band King Falcon “confront the weight of difficult decisions” with track and music video, “Wait” out now. On May 12, 2026, the band will also support NYC Rock band Added Color at Mercury Lounge ahead of a new string of dates across the U.S. and Canada this June. “Wait” is essentially “an emotional moment of reflection and a plea for forgiveness.”

Frontman and primary songwriter Michael Rubin (vocals, lead guitar) says:

“Wait” is about the weight of choices and their consequences. We all mess up, but growth happens in those moments. This song is about confronting mistakes and realizing that sometimes you can’t fix the past.

The moody black-and-white video for “Wait” cuts between a studio session and a 1959 Corvette on the streets of Los Angeles. The shoot proved to be hectic for the band, though, due to the LA wildfires.

Rubin adds about the video:

It was so special to spend an entire day driving a 1959 Corvette because I’m a huge car guy and that’s been a life-long dream car.
