Wagons have made a triumphant return with brand new music for the first time since 2014.
The unquestionably catchy new single “Keep on Coming Back” is a melodic masterpiece that incorporates all elements of the classic Wagons sound, with a brand new spiralling twist. A collection of recurring memories, ear-worms, strange habits, and scars; the tune encapsulates the way things can hover in space and time, and how a single experience or place can prompt an old memory and inspire the future all at once. The nuts and bolts of the song takes place in and around Claremont, Los Angeles, in the foothills of Mt. Baldy where Leonard Cohen lived out much of the end of his life.
Wagons stay atop their own tidal wave of hard-hitting, outlaw-inspired, swamp rock madness - pulsing and stomping together as a joint force, with singer Henry Wagons at the helm. Having produced six albums together, the band have garnered an increasing list of awards and achievements including ‘Album of the Week’ on RRR, PBS, RTR, 2SER, Edge radio, The Age/ EG ‘Best Band’ & ‘Album of the Year’, Rhythms Magazine ‘Album Of Year’, AIR ‘Country Album of the Year’, plus Melbourne Magazine naming Henry Wagons in their ‘Top 100 Most Influential People’.
The group have been regularly compared to the most mischievous of musical outlaws, from Johnny Cash to Nick Cave and have circled the globe testing the fortitude of some of the biggest stages at Bonnaroo, Bluesfest, Interstellar Rodeo, Laneway, Bumbershoot, Big Day Out, Out On The Weekend, Queenscliff, Ottawa Blues, as well as SXSW and Americana showcases.
Their new album “Songs From The Aftermath” is out on Friday 9th August, along with an Australian tour throughout September (dates below). This upcoming album is the band’s first since 2014. The album is described by the band as one that “cascades through random visions and emotions, like a long road trip through the night”.
