Wreckless Eric

“Gateway to Europe” serves as both an opener to the album but also the beginning of Eric’s story – “the start of something big” — played as a heroic anthem, bursting with horns and soaring backing vocals.

“I wanted the music to sound as though it was demolishing itself as it went along, and at times I wanted to actually hear it destroy itself, fuzz in and out until all that was left was the flat tone of a heart that’s stopped beating.” – Wreckless Eric on his new album.

The band — featuring members of Green Day, The Replacements, The E Street Band, The Hold Steady, Blondie, D Generation and more — took on songs by Ramones, The Clash, Dead Boys, Tom Petty, New York Dolls, The Kinks, Cheap Trick, Blondie, The Replacements, and more…
