Robert Jon & The Wreck Release New Single And Video ‘Stone Cold Killer’

Southern Rockers Robert Jon & The Wreck from Southern California release their new single “Stone Cold Killer” produced by Kevin Shirley (Aerosmith, Black Crowes, Iron Maiden) out on all digital platforms today via Joe Bonamassa’s Journeyman Records. The accompanying music video is a playful departure from their previous visuals, as it marks the band’s first foray into animation. Directed and animated in striking black and white by Marco Pavone, the unique visual representation captures the song’s energy and depth as well as fun caricatures of each band member.

A teaser from their forthcoming album slated for release next year, “Stone Cold Killer” showcases the band’s unique blend of rock, blues, and country that has garnered Robert Jon & The Wreck widespread acclaim. The single emerged organically from a rehearsal jam, and, as guitarist Henry James Schneekluth remarked, was recorded “without too much fuss and pretty minimal adjustments” at The Village Studios in Los Angeles with esteemed producer Kevin Shirley in April.

Robert Jon & The Wreck’s latest single, “Stone Cold Killer,” is innovative, high-energy Southern rock and roll. Produced by the legendary Kevin Shirley (Aerosmith, Black Crowes and Iron Maiden,) this track arrives with high expectations and does not disappoint. From the opening chords, “Stone Cold Killer” grabs your attention with its infectious, driving rhythm and gritty guitar work.

A powerful performance, Robert Jon Burrison delivers raw, emotive vocals as he tells the compelling story about a beautiful woman who is also dangerous. She seduces and then tears up her victims, and Burrison warns about her ways. A catchy tune with jangly guitar, the song features a seething slide guitar solo by Henry James Schneekluth. The rhythm section is solid, keeping the energy levels high and the groove tight.
