EverWill storms into August with “Concrete Wave”, a fierce, emotionally laced pop-punk anthem that demands to be heard at full volume! The solo project of Omaha-based multi-instrumentalist William Griffey, EverWill doesn’t just revisit the golden age of 2000s emo-punk. He reinvents it with raw honesty and a renewed sense of purpose.
Out August 15, “Concrete Wave” is a sonic gut-punch: a surge of blistering guitars, crashing drums, and cathartic gang vocals that hurl the listener into a world of inner struggle and hard-won resilience. Griffey handles nearly every element himself: vocals, bass, guitar, backing and gang vocals, while drummer Andrew Standley and vocalist Kristin Carlson round out the sound. Produced by Scott Robinson and mastered by Doug Van Sloan, the track is polished yet packed with an unfiltered edge.
Lyrically, the song confronts personal trauma and transformation without flinching. It’s the kind of track that turns pain into propulsion, threading melodic hooks through gritty textures in a way that feels both nostalgic and new. Fans of Yellowcard, Mayday Parade, or A Day to Remember will feel instantly at home, but Griffey’s voice and perspective are distinctly his own.
“Concrete Wave” isn’t just built for summer playlists; it’s built for survival, release, and late-night drives with the windows down. It’s a debut that announces EverWill not as a tribute act, but as a bold, emotionally charged force ready to carve his own space in the pop-rock landscape.
