Violet Breed has returned with their fifth single, “Sing”, a new rock anthem written by Alex Gonzato and Brian Wheat that combines alternative rock influences with classic rock foundations while pushing the band’s sound in a heavier direction.

Released alongside an official lyric video, “Sing” delivers a mix of soaring guitars, powerful rhythms, and layered vocal melodies. The track leans into an energetic and rebellious style while maintaining the melodic approach that has helped the band gain momentum over the past several releases.

Built around a chant-like chorus and an uplifting message, “Sing” encourages listeners to use their voices, stand up for themselves and those around them, and break free from the limitations of everyday routines. At its core, the song promotes resilience and hope through a high-energy rock framework.

Production and engineering duties were handled by bassist and founding member Brian Wheat, whose work behind the console helps bring out the raw emotion of lead vocalist AleX while giving the song a polished but authentic sound.

With “Sing”, Violet Breed continue to establish themselves within the modern alternative rock landscape. The track highlights a band willing to expand its creative range while staying committed to strong melodies and emotionally driven songwriting.

The new release follows a series of successful singles that have helped build the band’s profile. “Awake” reached No. 14 on the SMR Charts and No. 28 on the Mediabase Activator chart. “10 Years Sober” climbed to No. 24 on SMR and No. 36 on Mediabase Activator. “Endless Days” reached No. 18 on the SMR Charts and No. 37 on Mediabase Activator, while “Stay Away” hit No. 14 on the SMR Charts and No. 38 on Mediabase Activator, generating a total audience of 180,000 listeners.

Both “Awake” and “Endless Days” also received exposure through Joe Elliott‘s radio shows on SiriusXM and Planet Rock. Collectively, the band’s first four music videos have accumulated more than 960,000 views.

Violet Breed brings together the experience of Brian Wheat and the fresh perspective of AleX. Over the last five years, the duo has worked on a debut album inspired by personal experiences, aiming to create material that connects with listeners across different generations.

The upcoming record showcases the musical chemistry between the pair, combining rock and pop influences with honest songwriting and emotional performances. Fans familiar with Tesla and AleX‘s previous work will likely find plenty to appreciate in the new material.

Drawing from different generations of musical influences, Brian Wheat and AleX have incorporated elements inspired by artists such as The Beatles, Paul McCartney, Queen, and My Chemical Romance. Those influences help shape the band’s sound while allowing them to develop an identity of their own.

Somebody already made a movie about a charming-fuckup wedding singer who longs to perform his own songs instead of the obligatory covers of ’80s hits. It’s called The Wedding Singer, and it fucking rules. You might think that one wedding-singer comedy would be enough, especially since that one wedding-singer movie was a huge hit that became a cable staple. You might think that nobody would need another wedding singer comedy, especially since wedding bands are relative rarities these days. (Someone must hire them, but I haven’t been to a wedding reception with a band since my aunt got married in the late ’90s.) Nevertheless, the Irish writer and director John Carney’s new film Power Ballad dares to revisit that territory and to ask a pressing question: What if a wedding singer wrote a song and somebody stole it?
