Las Vegas-based modern rockers Crashing Wayward have shared their Jack Banks directed music video for their new single "Holding For Dear Life", which will be released this Friday (February 27) by Golden Robot Records.

SRO shared these details: 'Holding For Dear Life' is a gripping blend of theatrical vocals, hypnotic guitar lines, and dynamic rhythms that surge with urgency and vulnerability. Lyrically, the song explores devotion, obsession, and survival in the modern age- love as faith, desire as religion, and connection as both salvation and danger. Lines like "Holding on to a modern love / Holding on to new religion / I'm saying my prayers tonight" capture the track's tension between transcendence and self-destruction.

The single, produced by Shawn McGhee (Disturbed, Drowning Pool, Strung Out, Dark Chapel), appears on the band's forthcoming six-song EP The Fight Within, an electrifying and introspective release that showcases CRASHING WAYWARD at their most confident and compelling. Across the EP (release date TBA), the band deliver top-shelf songs that, in their own words, "speak a lot about life as we know it, reflecting outward to inward." The EP, set to be released in the third quarter of 2026, promises a kaleidoscopic journey through modern rock's emotional extremes.

With "Holding For Dear Life," CRASHING WAYWARD reaffirm their reputation as a band unafraid to go deep, pairing cinematic intensity with heartfelt storytelling.
