Led by Maryland frontman Chris Aleshire, Red Skies Dawning is the heavier, harder-hitting evolution of his previous project, “Red Skies Mourning.” Aleshire’s been around the block, cutting his teeth in hardcore and grunge, but Red Skies Dawning is where all those influences finally collide in the best way possible.
“The debris of what was becomes the foundation of what will be.”
“Shipwrecked” is a song Aleshire originally wrote this song during his Red Skies Mourning days as a more subdued, alternative-pop track. But when he brought it to Chris Dawson and Jimmie Beatie, they transformed it completely. The result is a full-throttle rock anthem that keeps the emotional core intact while cranking everything else up to eleven.
The song tackles themes of loss and starting over, essentially, what it feels like when something you’ve invested everything in falls apart. The “shipwrecked” metaphor works because it’s specific enough to feel real but universal enough that anyone who’s been through a rough breakup, career setback, or personal crisis will see themselves in it. There’s desperation here, sure, but also determination. Choosing “Shipwrecked” as their first single was a smart move. This is a band that knows who they are and what they want to say.
