Penhasco Rock:
“A great quality punk rock, an exciting and fun song ideal to listen to in a bar with friends at night, with striking guitar solos and very well tuned vocals in my opinion everything is perfect wouldn’t change anything it’s ready to be heard worldwide, we will definitely publish it on our website and add the song to our YouTube and Spotify playlists and add the song to the Web Radio schedule later today.”
Amelia Vanergast at A&R Factory:
“If it’s been a while since you’ve discovered an alt-rock track that tugs on the heartstrings as heavily as the rabid bass strings, prepare yourselves for the emotionally subjugating melodies in Die Tired’s latest single, Play, and leave the misery of responsibility behind. With none of the pretension of a powerhouse and all of the talent, getting suckered into the anthemic soul of Play is non-optional. There are some serious virtuosic stripes through the hard-rock solos. But the filthy grungey distortion in the bass and Mathew DeAngelis’ vocals, which could send EVERY grown-up The All-American Rejects fan into swoon mode, the gravity of Play lingers in the giddying catharsis.”

Die Tired returns with their brand-new single ‘Why Won’t You Wake Up?‘.
Blending the grit of grunge, the power of alt rock, and the energy of modern rock, the track delivers a wake-up call that resonates with urgency and intensity.
At its core, ‘Why Won’t You Wake Up?‘ is an exploration of individuality in a world clouded by influence and control.
The lyrics push back against conformity, urging listeners to open their eyes, challenge the noise around them, and live authentically.
With soaring guitar riffs, hypnotic rhythms, and a chorus that refuses to be ignored, the track captures both struggle and empowerment in equal measure.
“This song is about shaking off the voices that tell you who to be,”
says the band.
“We want people to ask themselves what it means to live for them, not for everyone else.”
The release also signals a bold new chapter for Die Tired, introducing guitarist and songwriter Matt Orlando to the lineup.
His arrival has expanded the band’s sound into more dynamic and textured territory, elevating both songwriting and performance.
“Matt has added a whole new dimension to what we do,”
says drummer Brandon Ballantyne.
“The music feels bigger, more alive, and more dangerous than ever.”
With ‘Why Won’t You Wake Up?‘, Die Tired reminds fans why rock is still a force to be reckoned with – challenging, cathartic, and impossible to ignore.
Earlier on in 2025 these american rockers had released already three more singles (‘Fall Forever‘, ‘(So Called) Complex’ & ‘Reel Me In‘)
‘Fall Forever‘ – a powerhouse track that blends grunge grit, alternative emotion, and hard rock fire.
This single marks the band’s boldest and most sonically daring release to date.
Fueled by soaring guitars, thunderous drums, and a bassline that refuses to quit, ‘Fall Forever‘ hits with a raw intensity that lingers long after the final note.
Frontman Matt DeAngelis delivers a haunting yet hopeful vocal performance, exploring what it means to leap into love, dreams, and the unknown – without fear.
“How does it feel to fall forever? Don’t you know I’m not afraid – just desperately in love?”
‘Fall Forever‘ is both a confession and a call to action – an emotionally supercharged anthem for anyone standing at the edge of a choice that could change everything.
The lyrics pull listeners into a world of transformation, defiance, and emotional vulnerability, wrapped in arena-ready hooks and a dynamic sonic landscape.
Produced with the unmistakable energy that Die Tired fans know and love, ‘Fall Forever’ is more than just a single – it’s a statement of intent from a band that continues to evolve without losing sight of their roots.
This is modern rock with heart, heat, and high voltage.
Their single, ‘(So Called) Complex’, is a searing alt-rock gut-punch wrapped in progressive textures and grunge grit.
Equal parts raw emotion and technical finesse, the track finds the modern rock outfit grappling with the digital age’s constant noise, façade-building, and emotional fatigue.
From the opening line
‘What do you think about the way I’m thinking now?‘
the song barrels into an unfiltered look at insecurity, identity, and tech-fueled paranoia.
It’s a lyrical punch to the gut that taps into the pressures of performative living, where curated lives and constant validation feed a cycle of anxiety and disconnection.
But Die Tired doesn’t leave listeners in the dark.
The powerful chorus
‘All our blood runs red‘
cuts through the chaos with a message of unity and humanity.
Beneath the noise, the screens, the image control, we’re all the same.
We all bleed.
We all break.
We all try to make sense of it.
Sonically, the track flexes the band’s evolution.
Intricate, prog-infused guitars collide with soaring vocals and tight, emotional percussion.
It’s introspective without losing its punch, and cerebral without losing its soul.
‘(So Called) Complex‘ is more than a song – it’s a mirror.
And Die Tired isn’t just making noise;
they’re making a statement.
‘Reel Me In‘ captures the universal struggle of feeling lost and the strength found in those who lift us up.
With soaring melodies, driving guitars, and heartfelt vocals, the track is an urgent reminder that it’s okay to ask for help.
Frontman Matt DeAngelis explains,
“This song is about those moments of doubt – when you feel disconnected or like you’re not quite reaching your goals. But more importantly, it’s about resilience and the courage to let others pull you through.”
Building on their reputation for high-energy performances and emotionally gripping songwriting, Die Tired continues to carve out their place in the modern rock scene.
‘Reel Me In‘ is more than just a song – it’s an anthem for anyone fighting to stay afloat.
Originally stemming from the age-old Marine adage,
“You can run, but you’ll just die tired”,
one might assume that their music carries ominous undertones and perhaps explores dark themes.
However, for Die Tired, it’s a punk rock way of declaring ‘Carpe diem!‘
Hailing from various corners of Pennsylvania, Die Tired’s members each inject their unique flair and personality into their music.
While they all have slightly different musical preferences, these diverse influences come together harmoniously to infuse fresh energy into irresistibly catchy alternative and pop-rock melodies.
Die Tired is a versatile band that draws inspiration from a wide spectrum, encompassing classic rock, heavy metal, pop-punk, and virtually anything playable on a guitar.
Onstage, their lively and passionate performances never fail to leave audiences craving more.
It’s practically impossible to resist tapping your foot, nodding your head, or enthusiastically singing along to their incredibly eclectic interpretation of rock ‘n roll.
In the world of Die Tired, every day is an opportunity to seize life’s moments!
