Pop-Punk and Country collide in a unique double release
Two of today’s most exciting independent acts, Backroom Stereo and Mark Richard & The Ruins, are thrilled to announce the release of their dual single, “Drinking,” offering fans two completely different takes on the same song. The single will drop on October 4, 2024, on all major streaming platforms.
In a rare and creative crossover, the two artists both consisting solely of Mark Tiddy have brought their own signature sounds to “Drinking”—a track that explores the emotional highs and lows of love, loss, and the solace we sometimes seek in a bottle.
Backroom Stereo, known for their high-energy pop-punk sound, delivers a fast-paced, electrifying version of “Drinking” with catchy hooks, driving guitars, and an anthemic chorus. Fans of bands like Blink-182 and All Time Low will feel right at home with their rendition, which captures the rebellious spirit and raw emotion the genre is known for.
On the flip side, Mark Richard & The Ruins bring a heartfelt, country twist to “Drinking,” with twangy guitars, soulful harmonies, and a storytelling approach that resonates deeply with fans of modern country music. Their version speaks to the heartache and longing that the genre excels in portraying, making it a must-listen for fans of artists like Chris Stapleton and Zac Brown Band.
“I wanted to show how a song can change entirely based on the genre,” says Mark Tiddy, lead vocalist of Backroom Stereo. “This project was so much fun because I was able to play around with different genres for the same song and be able to release both. Both the country and pop-punk versions tell that story in their own way”
The dual release is a bold move for both acts, showcasing their versatility and expanding their reach across genres. Fans can expect not just two versions of a song, but two distinct emotional journeys, offering something for both pop-punk enthusiasts and country lovers alike.
“Drinking” by Backroom Stereo and Mark Richard & The Ruins will be available for streaming and purchase on Spotify, Apple Music, and all major platforms on October 4, 2024.
