CRASHING WAYWARD are back with a powerful new chapter. The Las Vegas–based modern rock band today (February 25) have unveiled the video for their new gripping single “Holding For Dear Life” ahead of the track’s release this Friday (February 27) via Golden Robot Records. Watch the video, directed by Jack Banks, HERE and pre-save it now on all major streaming platforms HERE.

Following their critically acclaimed debut album, which earned a 7/10 rating from UK’s Classic Rock magazine and praise for “defying pigeonholing,” CRASHING WAYWARD continue to push their sound forward with music that is both emotionally raw and sonically expansive. 

‘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.
