Credit: David JacksonBad Wolves‘ current single, “Sober,” has given the band their fifth consecutive number-one single at rock radio.
Tommy Vext and company first hit the top of the format with their hit cover of The Cranberries‘ “Zombie,” and have since notched number-ones with “Hear Me Now,” “Remember When” and “Killing Me Slowly.”
“This song was a unique opportunity to talk about addiction not only from the perspective of the addict but also from the perspective of their loved ones,” Vext says of “Sober.”
“The message is very different from traditional songs that seem to always perpetuate a mentality of self-victimization which is exactly the kind of misguided thinking that perpetuates the mental obsessive side of alcoholism and addiction,” he continues. “In the end, the moral of the story is about holding on to not giving up on ourselves or the people who are trying — who are really, really trying to make and better themselves.”
“Sober” is a track from Bad Wolves’ sophomore album, N.A.T.I.O.N., which was released last October. The song has also reached number one on Billboard‘s Mainstream Rock Songs chart, the fourth Bad Wolves tune to achieve that feat.
