BIO

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.

Currently in the studio with producer Shawn McGhee (Disturbed,Drowning Pool, Strung Out, Dark Chapel), Crashing Wayward is sharpening their sound with a heavier, more direct edge. They’re touring nationally, releasing new music consistently, and gearing up for a high-profile appearance at Rock Fest. Backed by a live show that hits with both intensity and connection, the band is building something bigger—loud, raw, and fully in tune with a new wave of modern rock fans.
