We tend to either think, “I am so bad”, or “God is so good”. It can be easy to go down the “I am so bad” track. I am sinful. I make mistakes. I am not perfect. I don’t have great relationships.

The album, titled I’M A WRECK is 10 songs of straightforward rock reminiscent of classic punk sounds like the Ramones, Social Distortion and MXPX, while also sampling flavors of Americana such as Bruce Springsteen and Johnny Cash. “I had so much frustration, sorrow and flat out anger built up in my heart, that writing this album has served as a kind of therapy for me”, Nate says, adding, “My approach to writing these songs was to keep the instrumentation simple and the…

NewReleaseToday is premiering the new lyric video from The Gray Havens for “Rest,” the first new original music from the husband and wife duo since October 2018. You can watch it below. “In the fall of 2019, we were living with some friends,” explains Dave Radford. “The life of a full-time musician doesn’t allow for a lot of weekly rhythms. You’re gone a lot, and you’re back home for just long enough to get unpacked before you’re gone again.
