Wes Hoffmann & Friends release new Single "Promises"
Wes Hoffman and Friends – “Promises”
Today, punk-powered aficionados Wes Hoffman and Friends unleash their blistering new single “Promises” via SBÄM Records.
“Promises is a song about a relationship or friendship ending. You’re thankful and glad it’s ending, but you’re still holding onto secrets shared between you that you’ll hold forever. You question why it’s ending and why the person moved on, but you’ve also accepted it.”, says Wes.
“When writing ‘Promises,’ I wanted the song to have a bit of a darker tone while still giving it a strong melody for the chorus. I also wanted to add some more technical riffs on guitar, all while keeping it melodic and fun. It’s a little more melancholy, but it sticks with the anthemic vibes we’ve become known for. I can’t wait to see people singing along to this one.”
Production Powerhouse
Crafted under the expert eye of Gabe Usery at Encapsulated Studios (renowned for Dan Vapid and the Cheats, The Bombpops), the track roars to life with sharp, razor-edged sound. It was mixed by Trevor Reilly (guitarist of A Wilhelm Scream) at Anchor End Studios and mastered by Joe Reilly at Black and Blue Mastering in New Bedford, MA—legends all firmly within the punk production universe.
Solidified Lineup
What began as the musical brainchild of Wes Hoffman (lead guitar & vocals) and Jacob Boyd (bass) has grown into a rock-solid unit with the addition of Luca Torretta on guitar and Hes Retnu behind the drums—dialed-in, dynamic, and full-throttle.
