Interview with The Wrecks (The Wrecks Return!)

We had the pleasure of interviewing The Wrecks over Zoom video. The Dictionary of Obscure Sorrows by John Koenig which defines made up words for indescribable emotions classifies the neologism "sonder" as the "profound feeling of realizing that everyone, including strangers passing in the street, has a life as complex as one's own." The Wreck's vocalist/producer Nick Anderson landed on "Sonder" as the title of their sophomore album, which is out now via Big Noise Music Group. The band's most recent singles, the sparkling post-breakup anthem "Lone Survivor" and liberating alt-rock track "I Love This Part," showcase that they've fully honed-in on and embraced their characteristic genre bending alt-rock, as well as having evolved and matured their sounds for this triumphal venture of a second album. Anderson says that experimenting with minor keys and calculated lyrics. On Sonder, there's not only their distinctive witty, frantic genre-bending tracks ("Sonder," "Don't Be Scared," "Unholy," "Ugly Side"), but also their take on mesmerizing alt-rock love/loss ballads ("Where Are You Now?," "Dystopia," "Unrequited," "No Place I'd Rather Be," "Normal"). Sonder follows the release of the band's 2016 debut EP We Are The Wrecks (their first single "Favorite Liar" currently has 36 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. The Wrecks begun 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). The Wrecks also collaborated on a select number of tracks off Sonder with producers Westen Weiss (Meek Mill, Camila Cabello, Post Malone) and Dillon Deskin (Flo Rida, Will Sparks, Different Heaven, Myrne) to expand their sound.
