We are very excited to share the video for Rich Widows' latest single, 'Into The Abyss'. It has everything you love about punk rock: solid riffage, gruff vocals, singalong parts and sock puppets. 'Into The Abyss' is the second single to be taken off the band's forthcoming album 'Wreckage & Remorse,' out April 23 on tape and CD through Lost Youth Records.

"‘Into the abyss’ is a tale about loneliness and having no one to listen to your troubles. Except for the bartender," says the band. "Come to think of it, maybe ‘Into the abyss’ is more of a love letter to all the bartending people who not only serve us cold beverages but also play the part of late-night psychologist."

Rich Widows is a gruff punk band with songs about 3 am dive bars, bad decisions, wreckage and remorse. Back in 2017, a drunken discussion about Hot Water Music, The Lawrence Arms and Samiam quickly turned into the plan to start a punk rock band. Funny thing is they never really got to sound like any of those bands. On their first two EP’s, they borrowed hints of Jawbreaker, Dillinger Four and Pegboy if they were all soaked in beer or something. Those songs helped them land gigs with bands like Get Dead and Nothington, as well as a spot on the famous Groezrock festival.

With ‘Wreckage & Remorse’, the band has recorded the most diverse set of songs yet, ranging from fast and angry hardcore punk to midtempo punk rock. Hell, there's even a piano ballad on the album. "These songs won’t make us any richer. But we’re damn proud of ‘em." As they should be.
