THE WRECKS Find Solace After Breakup By Smashing Things In “Things You Make Me Do” Video
“Made up of a handful of love and loss scores, this LP crosses genres in an inaugural way for The Wrecks’ catalogue. From their previously cemented alt-rock sound on tracks like ‘Dystopia’ and ‘Don’t Be Scared’ to a pop-punk twist on the title track, ‘Sonder’ and ‘I Love This Part,’ Sonder is a perfect display of a band honing in on their matured sound.” – Setlist.fm
“The Wrecks’ mix of ‘don’t quit’ and ‘who cares’ mentality seems to be setting them on the right track.” – Billboard
“While embracing the spirit of creative experimentation, the band’s growth is evident in this long-awaited, genre-bending eleven-track record.” – Ones To Watch
“This is alt-rock on fire. Burn, babies, burn.” – idobi
“Catchy, boisterous, clever.” – Buzzbands.LA

Find Solace After Breakup By Smashing Things In “Things You Make Me Do” Video
Sonder Deluxe Out November 4
Back And Better Than Ever Tour Starts This Week
OCTOBER 12, 2022 (Los Angeles, CA) — Today, alt-pop band The Wrecks share a dynamic video for their newly released blustering alt pop single “Things You Make Me Do.” While the song is about being in an inescapable one-way relationship, the cinematic video (directed by: Natalie Hewitt) starts off by following vocalist/producer Nick Anderson around a sun-filled house doing his daily morning routine until he ventures outside to take out his frustrations by smashing things.
“We’ve been overwhelmed by the fans’ support on ‘Things You Make Me Do’ and how it got more streams in one day than any of our music,” Anderson exclaims. “For this song we worked with Natalie Hewitt (who creatively directed the ’Sonder’ album artwork and videos) to do the video and it perfectly depicts the song of doing things for people you love that you don’t want to necessarily do like going to a rom-comm with your partner or trying to dress up for someone you want to impress.”
The “Things You Make Me Do” single arrived in tandem with the announcement of Sonder Deluxe (the Deluxe Edition of the band’s critically-hailed June 2022 sophomore album which will be released on November 4, 2022via Big Noise). The video comes right on the heels of the band’s Back And Better Than Ever Tour – which kicked off in Reno, NV at Cargo Concert Hall last night – and features support from CARR and Arlie.

The Back And Better Than Ever Tour follows the band’s wildly successful, 90% sold out, June/July leg and it kicked off with a performance at Sonoma Harvest Festival in Sonoma, CA on October 9. It will hit cities such as Las Vegas, Detroit, Baltimore, Miami, New Orleans, Houston, San Diego, and more before concluding on November 19 at Majestic Theater in Ventura, CA. Tickets and VIP can be found at WeAreTheWrecks.com
Sonder (Deluxe) will be available right as the band are in the midst of their Back And Better Than Ever Tour and it collects not only their distinctive witty, frantic genre-bending tracks that made the original album land on Spotify’s Top 10 U.S. Album Charts release week (“Sonder,” “I Love This Part,” “Lone Survivor,” and “Where Are You Now” featuring girlhouse), but also adds bonus content with acoustic and remixed versions of original Sonder songs like “Sonder (Acoustic),” “Normal (Acoustic),” “Lone Survivor (Molly Otto Remix),” “Dystopia (Molly Otto Remix),” as well as a handful of B-Sides.

The Wrecks began as vocalist/producer Nick Anderson’s sole endeavor and has since been rounded out by Aaron Kelley (bass), Nick “Schmizz” Schmidt (guitar) and Billy Nally (drums). Sonder follows the release of the band’s 2016 debut EP We Are The Wrecks (their first single “Favorite Liar” currently has 42 million+ streams on Spotify), their 2018 Panic Vertigo EP, their 2020 Static EP as well as their 2020 debut LP Infinitely Ordinary (58 million+ streams on Spotify).
The Wrecks continue to rack up the massive fan base that has already given their top five singles on Spotify over 80 million listens. Poised for a wide-open road ahead of them, Nick Anderson and The Wrecks continue to charge into the limelight. Not too shabby for a kid from Wellsville, just two hours south of nowhere.
