Coming out of Sandusky, Ohio, Wexford is a band that channels the spirit of alternative rock with a unique blend of punk and post-hardcore influences. Featuring Dave Mueller and Andy Kohlmann on vocals and guitar, Shawn Daley on bass and keys and drummer Jeff Vandebussche, Wexford’s music is built on driving rhythms, slick guitar work and raw, emotive vocals.
Having drawn inspiration from iconic bands like Fugazi, Rival Schools, and Dinosaur Jr., Wexford offers a fresh perspective to the rock music scene. Each member brings their own unique style and musical background, resulting in a sound that’s thrilling and compelling.
Making their explosive entrance under a different lineup in 2022 via their debut album OK Suburbia, Andy and Dave then switched around disciplines with Shawn and Jeff joining the following year to complete the band. Having undergone a personal change and shift in approach from the founding members, Wexford is now ready to share the latest chapter of their exciting musical adventure with the world and in June, they’re set to drop the sophomore Wexford record titled Silent Key.
Ahead of the upcoming album, they share their brand new single “Change Your Mind,” offering the first taste of their new material and the sonic chemistry that exists between the quartet of talented musicians. Linking with producer Shawn Patrick Thomas Daley at The Mohawk Studio in Sandusky, with “Change Your Mind,” Wexford delivers a raucous alternative rock ride from start to finish.
With a grungey aesthetic and punk energy, the band’s new single serves up an uptempo outing packed full of crunching guitars, pounding drums and commanding vocals to craft an exhilarating rock anthem that marks their return in spectacular fashion. Brought in by the tinny rattle of the drums, the song erupts with charging guitar tones, lively bass lines and driving percussion before Dave Mueller’s vocal leads thread smooth melodies via subtly impassioned delivery above.
The crash of drums and thick fuzzy riffs of guitar provide a rising swell of energy as the chorus lays down soaring vocal leads to craft a rousing burst of sound. With profound lyrical writing that tracks various perspectives of self-doubt and aimless existence, “Change Your Mind” is an energetic and meaningful musical experience that’s sure to catch the attention of listeners around the world and build the hype for the band’s forthcoming LP this summer.
