The single was released on May 14, and is sure to be a hit with fans of classic and modern rock alike. With influences ranging from Pink Floyd, Lynyrd Skynyrd, and Metallica to Tool, Foo Fighters, and The Black Keys, Bastion Rose is a band that knows how to write catchy and memorable rock songs that will get your blood pumping.
