Wexford is an alternative rock band from Sandusky in Ohio who infuse their music with elements of punk and post hardcore to create a sound that’s both unique and gripping. Formed by Dave Mueller and Andy Kohlmann on vocals and guitar, along with Shawn Daley on bass and keys and drummer Jeff Vandebussche, Wexford brings together a diverse range of influences to bring to life their shared sonic vision.
Drawing inspiration from legendary bands like Fugazi, Rival Schools and Dinosaur Jr., Wexford offers their own original take on rock music, building their sound on driving rhythms and guitar work and powerful vocals. After making their explosive debut with their debut single “Dirty Habit” and their first album OK Suburbia in 2022, Wexford underwent a personal and musical regeneration with Andy and Dave switching roles and Shawn and Jeff joining the outfit.
With the upcoming release of their sophomore album Silent Key, Wexford is now sharing the next chapter of their musical journey with the world. Returning this year with new music ahead of the upcoming album, they shared the single “Change Your Mind” in February.
Now they bring us the second track lifted from the record with the brand new single titled “Never Give Up the Fight.” The new single is an anti-war anthem inspired by the Russian invasion of Ukraine. It’s a plea for peace and equity, a call to action to stand up against violence and injustice.
Framing the important message and sobering context in their lively alternative rock sound, the single lays down an uptempo sound of crashing drums, gritty guitars and impassioned vocals. From the opening guitar riff and strike of drums, the song launches into an energising arrangement of striking percussion and bold guitars capped by a robust vocal performance carrying empowering lyricism.
Rising to an anthemic chorus of belted vocals and charged instrumentation, the song offers an epic rock music experience cut with electrifying guitar leads. Paired with the single is a music video shot and produced by Stevie Long featuring the band performing the song with scenes of archive footage of conflicts around the world. Wrapped in grainy aesthetic and flickering filters, the video delivers the perfect visual pairing for the raw sound of the music
