Release Date: September 15, 2023

LYRICS:
Pendulum

The scales have fallen
From our eyes again
We'd gotten so close
But that was then

Lured into the web
Of our rhetoric
Collision sparked and
The fuse was lit 

No denying that
It mattered at the time
Caught up in the wish
To make it right

All eyes are focused
On this spectacle
Mirrored delusion
So volatile

Moths drawn to the flame
Burning with contempt
Self-immolation
By argument 

No denying this
Cold civil war we fight
Always so convinced
We’ll make it right

To revel in the blood
Nothing quite compares
Forever in the flux
Of "ours" and "theirs"

What’s left for Us?

Widetrack is the musical partnership of father-son duo of Ron and Zach Tippin. 

The band's "Alterna-Prog" sound has been described as "Twilight Zone creator Rod Serling conducts a group therapy session with members of Soundgarden, Pink Floyd and Rush".

Their formative discography consists of 2007's self-titled debut, 2009's Widetrack II, and Zach's 2018 debut with the band, Widetrack III.  All three albums were co-produced by Andy Patalan, guitarist for popular '90s grunge-rock band, Sponge. 

Beginning in January 2019, the father-son team wrote, recorded and released one new song each month, marking Zach's debut as a songwriter and recording engineer, as well as the first time Ron had written Widetrack music with another person. 

The twelve songs comprise Widetrack's fourth album, The Unwakening, released on April 23rd, 2020 (Zach's 16th birthday). 

Once the pandemic lockdown was lifted, they quickly began gaining considerable attention on the live music scene, inspiriting audiences with their electrifying energy and mood-enhancing vibe.

Presently, the duo is playing select shows in preparation for the release of their fifth album, Monoliths.

Pendulum

Artist: Widetrack
Song: Unlived
Album: Monoliths
Release Date: September 15, 2023

LYRICS:
Unlived

Something inside
Won’t be silenced
Fearing the loss of
Your life unlived

The road is long
Wanting just to run
Knowing something's out there 

The world is hard
Always wanting more 

Time now to rise
To this moment
Harness the force of 
Your truest wish

You'll light up
Hold that thought in your mind

And know there is hope still
Know there is hope still
Know there is hope

The road is long
Wanting just to run 
Knowing something's out there

The world is hard
Always wanting more
Don’t be robbed of your chance

Know there is hope 
Know there is hope 
Know there is hope 
Know there is hope 

Believe that something is out there
(Know there is hope) 
Believe that something is out there
(Know there is hope) 
Believe that something is out there
(Know there is hope) 
Believe that something is out there
(Know there is hope)

Martyr

Artist: Widetrack
Song: Seeksorrow
Release Date: September 7, 2020

BIO:
Widetrack is the musical partnership of Ron Tippin and his 16 year-old son, Zach.

The duo's "Alterna-Prog" sound strikes a balance between the moody-deep undertones of such progressive groups as Pink Floyd, Radiohead, Porcupine Tree, The Mars Volta, etc., with the heaviness of alternative and hard rock bands like Soundgarden, Queens Of The Stone Age, Tool, STP, etc.

Between 2007 and 2016, Ron self-released the band's first three albums, 'Widetrack', 'Widetrack II', and 'Widetrack III', Zach's recording debut, as bassist.

Beginning in January 2019, the father-son team wrote, recorded and released one new song each month, marking Zach's debut as a songwriter and recording engineer, as well as the first time Ron had written Widetrack music with another person.

The twelve songs comprise Widetrack's fourth album, The Unwakening, released on April 23rd, 2020 (Zach's 16th birthday).

The band was in the process of booking live dates throughout 2020, but those plans have been put on hold, due to the pandemic crisis. In the meantime, they are writing and recording new music, and playing live streaming performances.

LYRICS:

Seeksorrow

Light fades from a colorless sky
A fair day’s hope barely survived

To such broken lives
Always the worst end

Scenes come to mind

You ought to laugh so loud
You’d be surprised

You’re not the only one
Who’s ever felt denied 
A promised end

When going all in
Is one’s only out to find

To such broken lives

Dramas form ever more tales of
How you’ve suffered 
Like no one else can

Scenes come to mind

Like cancer 
Lusting for our tears 

Longing to cut with
Those on a fine knife edge 

Cognitive biases
Howling for justice
From the exempt

And I feel 
Crushed by the load 
Drawn in and lessened by
These truly vile norms

Consciousness undermined
Strung right along

Nothing left to be learned
Consumed by the madness

And I see no sign of a result
Locked in your blind views of the goal

As your sort
Awaits a new crisis 
To profit by its bombast

No interest in ever solving
These problems of our 
Devolving morale
