Alt-rockers The Wrecks have released their new single, “This Life I Have,” available now on all digital music platforms including Apple Music.

“This Life I Have” is the most recent single from the band’s debut full-length album, Infinitely Ordinary. Released earlier this month via Big Noise, Infinitely Ordinary is the culmination of over two years of hard work. Made up of 8 honest tracks that fully encompass the Los Angeles-based quartet’s desire for perfection, it is anything but ordinary.

Vocalist/producer Nick Anderson had this to say:

The structure is whack: There’s no chorus, and the lyrics sound like stream-of-consciousness college slam poetry. But I love this song.

We played it live for a year-and-a-half before this album even came out. It’s the only song people would mosh to during our set, even though they’d never heard it. It was great; I got to yell and scream about my insecurities and depression to kids who weren’t listening — just like all my favorite punk/pop-punk bands growing up.

Led by Anderson and rounded out by Aaron Kelley (bass), Nick “Schmizz” Schmidt (guitar) and Billy Nally (drums), The Wrecks have created an album that jumps from the anxiety-inducing “Freaking Out” to the self-sabotage anthem “Fvck Somebody”, the heart-pounding “Out Of Style,” to the introspective ballads title track.
