Having only formed a couple years ago, alt-rock duo WREX are onto something intriguing. Having released a handful of singles to date, 2022 is going to be a big year for them undoubtedly as they gear up to release new music and get their names out there a bit more.
At its core, the band’s new song “Sleepless” is a nice balance between aggressive, riff-heavy alternative rock and pop sensibilities. Pretty great for a duo, no? Rest assured it won’t be the last time you hear from the newcomers this year, as more new music is coming down the pipeline as well.
About the new song, the band had this to say:
Sleepless is about the feeling of being overwhelmed by society’s paradigms and recognising that these pressures can often be tricks of the mind – “the poison piece of my mind”.
About The Video:
Sleepless’ lyrics convey toxic relationships and manipulation. In the video we wanted to tell this story whilst keeping a “light-hearted’ comedy aspect to it; bringing us to the operation in the video. This shows the transition between a “normal” WREX, and a “monster” version. The transformation between the 2 versions of ourselves is an exaggeration of the transformation we go through after/when experiencing trauma. The toys being removed represent childhood/core memories being removed as we transition into monster WREX.
