Southern California rockers Robert Jon & The Wreck are back with their brand-new stand-alone single, “Point of View,” available now on all digital platforms. A rollicking, groove-driven ode to the colorful characters encountered on the road, “Point of View” captures the band’s signature energy and humor with a distinctly vintage flair. Self-produced and recorded at the legendary Sunset Sound in Hollywood, the track showcases a Stones-inspired vibe, complete with vibrant backing vocals from Laura Gruska and Rachel Mazer.

“‘Point of View’ is a story inspired by those rare experiences where things get a little wild,” explains guitarist Henry James. “Every once in a while, someone gets a bit too comfortable, and while it can be challenging in the moment, it always makes for a great story later. Musically, the song came together naturally—a big, loose, yet tight ‘70s rock ’n’ roll jam that we’re all really proud of.” With its infectious riffs, tight grooves, and feel-good party vibe, “Point of View” is a fresh addition to the band’s ever-growing catalog, perfectly complementing their high-energy live performances.

The band’s new single comes on the heels of the release of the Red Moon Rising Deluxe Edition, out now on all digital platforms. Featuring the original tracks from their acclaimed 2024 album alongside two CD bonus tracks, “Hate To See You GoandRager,” and two brand-new songs, “Boss Man” and “Life Between The Lines,” the album has garnered critical acclaim and deepened the band’s connection with their fans. Critics have praised Red Moon Rising for its powerful storytelling, dynamic musicianship, and emotional depth. With tracks like the emotionally charged “Ballad Of A Broken Hearted Man” and the anthemic “Give Love,” the album has cemented Robert Jon & The Wreck’s place as torchbearers of modern Southern rock.

Currently, in the middle of a successful European tour, Robert Jon & The Wreck are bringing their electrifying live show to audiences worldwide. After wrapping up their EU dates in early December,, the band will kick off their U.S. winter tour with a performance on The Rock Boat XXIV cruise, setting sail from Miami, Florida on January 26, 2025. From there, the tour will crisscross the U.S., bringing their blend of storytelling and fiery musicianship to fans nationwide..

Since their formation in 2011, Robert Jon & The Wreck have been delivering their distinct brand of Southern rock with relentless passion. Featuring Robert Jon Burrison (vocals, guitar), Henry James Schneekluth (lead guitar, vocals), Andrew Espantman (drums, vocals), Warren Murrel (bass), and Jake Abernathie (keyboards), the band has captivated audiences worldwide with their powerful storytelling and high-energy performances. Whether on stage or in the studio, Robert Jon & The Wreck continue to redefine what it means to carry the torch of rock ‘n’ roll into the modern era.
