Southern California rockers Robert Jon & The Wreck have released Wreckage, Vol. 3, a new collection of standalone singles recorded and released throughout the past year. The release arrives alongside the focus track “Arroyo,” a new Southern rock-inspired jam recorded at the legendary Sunset Sound in Los Angeles.

“Arroyo” originated from a free-form rehearsal jam that evolved into one of the centerpiece tracks on the release. According to guitarist Henry James, the song was inspired by “an image in Robert’s head of a lone traveler, out on a dry creek bed in which everyone and everything was out to get him.”

Drawing influence from Spaghetti Western films and classic Clint Eastwood movies, the track follows “a brief moment full of darkness, danger and deception on a dry creek bed in the old Wild West.”

The song was recorded in Studio 2 at Sunset Sound, commonly known as “the Van Halen room.” The track was self-produced by the band and engineered and mixed by Chad Gordon.

“We let it be what it is,” James explains. “A semi-improvised ’70s southern rock jam.”

Much of the song came together during the first or second take, including improvised solos from keyboardist Jake Abernathie on Hammond B3 and James on Epiphone Firebird guitar.

Wreckage, Vol. 3 follows recent singles including “Run Back To Me” and “Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is.” The collection arrives during a busy stretch for the band, following the release of their Dave Cobb-produced studio album Heartbreaks & Last Goodbyes via Joe Bonamassa’s Journeyman Records.

Since forming in 2011, Robert Jon & The Wreck — Robert Jon Burrison (vocals, guitar), Henry James (lead guitar, vocals), Andrew Espantman (drums, vocals), Warren Murrel (bass), and Jake Abernathie (keys) — have built an international following through extensive touring across the U.S. and Europe. The band has shared stages with Samantha Fish, Blackberry Smoke, Joe Bonamassa, and Rival Sons.

Robert Jon & The Wreck’s upcoming tour schedule includes dates across the U.K., Europe, and the United States.

The seventh album from enigmatic Nashville rockers All Them Witches comes after a period of upheaval and regrouping

In a world of constant illusion

Society is wired in

A hive mind controls what we want

Losing ourselves from within 

On Ghosts, Sheffield’s IAMIMPERFECT write as though the mid-2020s have become a pressure system inside the skull: everything hums, everything tightens, and every private injury has somehow learned to speak in public. The title is apt, though these apparitions belong less to candlelit folklore than to modern fatigue. They haunt us with the need to pass among one’s peers, the ache of comparison, the competitor always gaining ground, the plain cruelty of seeing everyone else appear to cope while your own life keeps tilting off its axis.

The band’s music sits at the junction of darkwave, synth-pop, industrial, and goth, with electronic drums snapping under intricate synth arrangements, distorted guitar adding a metallic ache, and vocal hooks that rise with a theatrical insistence. The reference points are clear enough: Solar Fake, The Birthday Massacre, Faderhead, Depeche Mode, with a stray Iron Maiden flourish cutting through the machinery – but IAMIMPERFECT are most persuasive when those ingredients serve emotional consequence rather than genre inventory.

Surviving Is Not Living sets the album’s moral temperature, with its cinematic synth sighs. Its vocals lay bare the central wound of imbalance: one person takes, the other keeps giving; one person seems required, the other feels merely tolerated. The anger is sharpened by exhaustion, but the track’s real force comes from its refusal to accept humiliation as fate.

With its driving melody, The Fallen widens the frame from private injury to civic collapse, picturing society as a wired collective where freedom and control blur until people become strangers to themselves. It is one of the record’s stronger pieces, bleak without becoming vague.

Conversion Therapy, with its mechanized beat, is the most explicit and severe track here, treating abuse disguised as salvation with appropriate disgust. The language of poison, brainwashing, exploitation, and PTSD is direct because the subject allows no polite softening.

In the dirgeful, rhythmic lament Solitary Shell, shame and religious judgment curdle into isolation, but the song keeps searching for will, drive, and some stubborn remnant of connection.

The final track, Ghosts Of The Past, with its bright, wistful synth melody, somber vocal, and zig-zag guitar riff, closes the circle with abandonment and the cruel arithmetic of unanswered messages.

Ghosts is available on all major digital platforms worldwide. Listen to Ghosts below and order the EP here.

Formed in Sheffield in late 2023, the project moved quickly through UK gigs, festival appearances, the 2024 Reincarnate EP, and a 2025 stretch that included a southern England tour. That pace gives Ghosts a charged, breathless quality, as though the songs were written in the narrow gap between damage and decision.

The EP’s artwork deepens the album’s emotional architecture. Working with Sheffield artists Stephen Carley and Scott D’arcy, IAMIMPERFECT turned double-exposed film photographs into visual companions for each track, giving the record a carefully distressed frame. Ghosts is about trying to live while the world claws at your attention, pulls you toward conformity, and drags you back toward despair. More crucially, it is about continuing anyway.
