Check out new music from alternative rockers Stray + The Wild

Dark alternative rockers Stray + The Wild have just released their latest single, Show Me The Way. The new track is exactly what we needed to get us ready for the weekend. Guitarist and songwriter, Alan Dämien, shares,

“We realize that we need to put our own ideas about life behind us if we want to write songs that can reach out to the souls of people. We want them to see what’s really happening in the world.”

“We all go through so many circumstances that define who we are. People get hung up with bad habits, life events, and become comfortable in their own personal situations. These songs were written to wake people up, to show them how we’re treating the planet, each other, and every living creature, with hopes that we will individually become self-aware and do the right thing.”

Produced by the renowned Mudrock, known for his work with Avenged Sevenfold, Linkin Park, Godsmack, and Deftones, and recorded by Mudrock and Alan Dämien, this single is a testament to the band’s commitment to creating music that resonates with the souls of their audience.

Mastered by Howie Weinberg, whose credits include Nirvana, Metallica, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Muse, and Run DMC, the single showcases a sonic landscape that is both powerful and evocative, a hallmark of Stray + The Wild’s unique sound.

The music video was directed by Rich Ragsdale & produced by Kevin Ragsdale who recently worked with Sean Lennon on his videos.
