Info for Heartbreaks & Last Goodbyes

Southern California rockers Robert Jon & The Wreck are releasing their ninth studio album, ‘Heartbreaks & Last Goodbyes,’. Produced by the legendary Dave Cobb (Chris Stapleton, Jason Isbell, Rival Sons), the new album finds the band firing on all cylinders—raw, reflective, and tighter than ever.

“It was an incredible honor to collaborate with Dave Cobb on our new record,” shares frontman Robert Jon Burrison. “Not only has he worked with artists we deeply admire, but he’s also been a producer we’ve respected for over a decade. ‘Heartbreaks & Last Goodbyes’ feels like a true reflection of who Robert Jon & The Wreck is as a band. From the moment we arrived in Savannah, GA, to record, we felt an immediate sense of comfort and ease—something rare in a typical studio environment. Being away from our usual routines, living together, and immersing ourselves in the new songs from start to finish created an album we are incredibly proud of. We can’t wait to share it with the world and bring it to life on stage.”

Alongside the announcement, the band has shared their latest single, “Highway,” a soaring, mid-tempo rocker that showcases everything fans have come to love about The Wreck: blistering twin guitar harmonies, emotionally charged vocals, and a driving rhythm section. Produced by Cobb and recorded in Savannah, “Highway” blends the band’s classic heartland sound with fresh, cinematic urgency.

“‘Highway’ is a favorite of ours on ‘Heartbreaks & Last Goodbyes’—a song that started as a loose melodic concept on an acoustic guitar in Henry’s apartment, and evolved into a full-blown powerhouse,” adds Robert. “When we brought it into rehearsals in Costa Mesa, it just clicked with the band. Dave Cobb helped us elevate the track by pushing the tempo and building out the dynamics. Lyrically, it’s a heartfelt love song—wide open, full throttle, and impossible to get out of your head.”

“It never strayed far from the original vision Robert and I had,” notes guitarist Henry James. “Cobb brought a new level of spontaneity and emotional edge to the sessions. This track hits hard and still gives you the feels—it’s everything we love about rock ’n’ roll.”

According to bassist Warren Murrel, the Savannah sessions represented a major turning point for the band: “For the first time in our band’s history, we had the opportunity to live at the studio while recording. Instead of dealing with LA traffic and squeezing in sessions between other commitments, we got to immerse ourselves fully in the music—writing, recording, and refining songs every day for over a week. It was an experience that allowed us to be completely present in the creative process. Dave Cobb has a way of getting under the hood of a song, pushing it further than we ever thought possible. His guidance challenged us in the best ways and helped bring this album to life in a way we’re truly proud of.”

‘Heartbreaks & Last Goodbyes’ captures the band at a creative peak, drawing from real-life experiences of love, loss, and redemption. Across ten riveting tracks, Robert Jon & The Wreck explores the full emotional spectrum, delivered with thunderous riffs, razor-sharp grooves, and some of their most compelling lyrics to date. The album was mixed by Greg Gordon, known for his work with Chris Stapleton, Sturgill Simpson, Jason Isbell, and Rival Sons.

“This album is a candid musical reflection of who we are today,” adds Henry. “Tales of love gone awry, love gone right, camaraderie, estrangement, lessons learned, dark shadows, and bright lights—all wrapped into one.”

“Highway” follows the release of several acclaimed tracks from the upcoming album, including the fiery, John Oates co-written “Long Gone,” the introspective ballad “Ashes in the Snow,” and the high-octane “Sittin’ Pretty.” Each single has spotlighted a different facet of the band’s evolving sound, building anticipation for what promises to be their most ambitious album yet.

Robert Jon & The Wreck
Reigning from Southern California, Robert Jon & The Wreck take the Southern rock sound from the East Coast and make it their own. Since their inception in 2011, these native Californians—Robert Jon Burrison (lead vocals, guitar), Andrew Espantman (drums, background vocals), Henry James Schneekluth (lead guitar, background vocals), Warren Murrel (bass), and Jake Abernathie (keyboards)—have been electrifying audiences all over the world with their soaring guitar leads, rich vocal harmonies, and unforgettable songs. Simply put, it is impossible to ignore when these talented musicians take the stage.

The band has made an undeniable impact across the globe, playing sold-out shows and sharing the stage with the likes of Joe Bonamassa, Blackberry Smoke, Peter Frampton, The Marshall Tucker Band, The Black Crowes, Little Feat, and Rival Sons. 2020’s Last Light On The Highway earned worldwide acclaim, and 2021’s Shine A Light On Me Brother continued their upward climb, leading to a collaboration with Bonamassa’s Journeyman Records. That partnership paved the way for even more ambitious projects, including 2023’s Ride Into The Light, a dynamic, multi-faceted album that showcased collaborations with GRAMMY-winning producers Don Was, Kevin Shirley, and Dave Cobb, alongside contributions from Bonamassa and Josh Smith.

That same year also saw the release of Live At The Ancienne Belgique, their first official live concert film, praised by Music News as “one of the best live albums I have heard in years.”

In 2024, Robert Jon & The Wreck teamed up once again with Kevin Shirley (Iron Maiden, Aerosmith, The Black Crowes) for the release of Red Moon Rising. The record was hailed as their most fully realized work yet, with critics calling it “a bold step forward” and “a masterclass in modern rock & roll with vintage soul.” The collaboration with Shirley further cemented the band’s reputation as torchbearers of timeless, heartfelt rock music.

Now in 2025, the band continues their momentum with the release of Heartbreaks & Last Goodbyes, produced by GRAMMY-winner Dave Cobb (Chris Stapleton, Brandi Carlile, Rival Sons). The album captures the raw energy and spirit of the band while pushing their songwriting into bold new territory.

With the new album in tow, Robert Jon & The Wreck are set for a massive year of touring, including a major U.S. West Coast run with Samantha Fish this fall and an extensive European and U.K. tour in the spring. Known for their fiery performances, the band’s live show has been described as a life-affirming, communal experience—where blistering guitar solos, soulful harmonies, and unshakable grooves bring audiences to their feet night after night.
