Florida’s WAGE WAR have followed up their recent ‘Who I Am’ single with TWO brand new tracks, both taken from their forthcoming new album, ‘Pressure’ (out August 30th through Fearless Records).
‘Prison’ was given its world premiere with Sirius XM in the US on 26/07,
and you can listen below!
‘My Against Myself’ had its premiere with Loudwire on the Monday 29/07,
watch that video below!
“‘Me Against Myself’ is probably our farthest journey into the melodic world,” the band told Loudwire. “From the very first demo, we knew it was special. The lyrics are about as transparent as it gets — dealing with the fact that a lot of times, we’re our own worst enemy. We’ve always prided ourselves on being versatile and pushing ourselves to create something new and different, and that’s what this song stands for.”
‘Pressure’ is the bands third album, and the anticipated follow up to 2017’s Jeremy McKinnon
(A Day To Remember) produced ‘Deadweight’.

A bit about WAGE WAR – The band (Briton Bond [lead vocals], Cody Quistad [rhythm guitar, clean vocals], Seth Blake [lead guitar], Chris Gaylord [bass], and Stephen Kluesener [drums]) released their hugely received 2015 debut, Blueprints, which yielded multiple fan favourites with “Alive” cracking 12 million Spotify streams and “The River” exceeding 8 million to date. Then 2017’s Deadweight established the band as a global rising force. Totalling nearly 50 million cumulative streams in two years, the single “Stitch” racked up 14 million streams on Spotify as Deadweight received widespread praise from MetalInjection, New Noise, Metal Hammer, and Rock Sound who dubbed it, “a relentless, genre-evolving treat.” Meanwhile, they toured alongside everyone from I Prevail and Of Mice & Men to Parkway Drive and A Day To Remember, logging countless miles on the road.
