WAGE WAR Release Video For New Single "Sweet Dreams" - Band Gearing Up for Fall US and EU 2027 Headline Tour with Invent Animate, Wind Walkers

Florida's WAGE WAR — Briton Bond [lead vocals], Cody Quistad [rhythm guitar, clean vocals], Seth Blake [lead guitar], Chris Gaylord [bass], and Stephen Kluesener [drums] — recently released the It Calls Me By Name EP via Fearless Records. Listen here. It was a vicious selection of tracks where the band elected to indulge the more brutal side of its sound.

Today, they the release the video for the brand new standalone single "SWEET DREAMS." And it continues the recent trajectory. While Wage War may have titled the new song "SWEET DREAMS," it sounds like the soundtrack to your nightmare. And if you are a musical masochist who likes it loud, fast, brutal, and bloodcurdling, this song answers the call. But it's not all bluster and sonic fists of fury. Rather, the band drops melodic vocals smack dab in the middle of the maelstrom to give you a bit of a breather and to make you think. It's an excellent execution of dynamics.

Watch the video below.

"'Sweet Dreams is a song about being deceived by the world around you," the band explains. "About safety in a sense of blissful ignorance. Sonically, it draws inspiration from all of our previous work over the last 10 years."

Indeed, it combines Wage War's past and present to create something entirely explosive and new.

Wage War will return to U.S. stages for a headline tour this fall, with We Came As Romans, Varials, and Cane Hill as support. The "Emergncy Broadcast" tour kicks off October 25 in San Antonio and runs through Novemebr 27 in Orlando in the band's native Florida. Get tickets here.
