Modern rock band CRASHING WAYWARD hold nothing back in “Bullet For A Heart,” a track bursting with raging guitars, razor-sharp vocals, and an unflinching worldview that rails against hate and violence. Today (April 22), they’ve released the song’s video, for which they went all-in. At a soundstage in their Las Vegas hometown, they filmed the video with water pouring all over them to illustrate the song’s key lyrics: “Save me/Save yourself/Shower with the bullets full of heart/Lay it down/Lay your weapons down/Shower with the bullets full of heart.” Watch the video HERE, listen to track HERE, and see their tour dates below.

“When the shoot was planned,” says lead singer Peter Summit, “we had spoken of shooting in front of the rain only looking as if we were getting wet, but decided there was no way we were going to phone in this performance. So we all got in the water and delivered a performance that we only know how to do. The rain falling off us illuminated that energy and although it was a very cold night shot two days before our Pacific Northwest tour in February, we took this risk to make sure we captured the song’s true emotion and raw power.” Read a Q&A with Summit and guitarist David Harris below.

The previously released track was rebooted with Harris’ meatier new guitar parts and a sharper mix by producer Shawn McGhee (Disturbed, Drowning Pool, Strung Out, Dark Chapel), with mastering done by Pete Lyman at Infrasonic Sound. It will appear on CRASHING WAYWARD’s forthcoming six-song EP The Fight Within, out in the third quarter of 2026 on Golden Robot Records (exact release date TBA) and promises a kaleidoscopic journey through modern rock’s emotional extremes. 

The EP will also include the band’s previous single “Holding For Dear Life,” hailed by the UK’s Classic Rock magazine as a “tight, groovy beefcake of a song… manages to be fiery, introspective and energizing at once– the sort of brooding intensity you can dance to.“ (March 16, 2026) The song was picked by readers as “Track of the Week.” Watch the video HERE and listen to the track HERE.

The Fight Within is an electrifying and introspective release that showcases CRASHING WAYWARD—Peter Summit (lead vocals), David Harris (lead guitar), Carl Raether (bass), Tucker Jones (guitar), and Jon Gunder (drums)—at their most confident and compelling. Across the EP the band deliver top-shelf songs that, in their own words, “speak a lot about life as we know it, reflecting outward to inward.”
