WAGE WAR — Briton Bond [lead vocals], Cody Quistad [rhythm guitar, clean vocals], Seth Blake [lead guitar], Chris Gaylord [bass], and Stephen Kluesener [drums] — are barreling straight ahead into 2024 with an explosive new single.
Today, the band premiered the new single Magnetic via SiriusXM’s Octane and dropped the video.
The band has built its reputation on the back of smart songwriting that expertly pits hooks against heaviness and sprinkles melody amidst the maelstrom. On Magnetic, the Florida five-piece continues this tried and true formula that has been so effective for them. But they take it up 10 notches and throw more than a few sonic curveballs in the space of four minutes. The melodic verses and choruses grab your attention and the hard-charging and unholy roars and thick riffs keep it. Magnetic should write you a rent check because it will live in your brain, thanks to its supreme catchiness. It is indeed Magnetic.
“Magnetic is a song about an attraction to someone that you just can’t seem to quit,” the band explains. “Despite knowing what may be best, we’re pulled back to a feeling that inevitably takes control. Fate decides our future.”
In other Wage War news, the band will kick off its North American co-headline tour with Nothing More next month. But before that, the group are currently in Australia appearing as part of Knotfest Australia alongside Pantera, Disturbed, Lamb of God, Halestorm and many more. The band also ticked off their sold out Melbourne Knotfest sideshow last night, co-headlining alongside Asking Alexandria, and will close out their Aussie appearances at the sold out sideshow in Brisbane on Tuesday 26 March. Tickets for the remaining Sydney and Brisbane Knotfest events are on sale now, but get in quick – they won’t last long!
