Hell or Highwater Release Video for New Single "I'll Be Waiting"
Hell or Highwater, the rock band featuring Atreyu drummer/vocalist Brandon Saller on lead vocals, are back with a brand new single and website. The band just launched the video for "I'll Be Waiting," on its newly launched website. The song is also available for free download! So fans can enjoy the audio + the visual.
"I'll Be Waiting" was recorded by the band at its own The Spot Studio in Vista, California. "'I'll Be Waiting,' in essence is a love song," Saller said, offering insight into the track. "But further, it's a celebration of the feeling one has when you find someone that you truly can't live without. It's a feeling unmatched by anything in this world. Everyone has a 'Jean Marie.' If you haven't found yours yet, you will know when you do. Here's to finding your 'Jean Marie' this summer."
Since their inception, Hell or Highwater have earned comparisons to acts like Foo Fighters and Muse, thanks to their knack for crafting unforgettable and uplifting rock songs. They earned a spot on the annual UPROAR Tour in 2013 and also toured the world with the likes of Avenged Sevenfold, whose frontman M. Shadows contributed vocals on the song "Go Alone," as well as Stone Sour and The Used.
They've survived van wrecks and lineup changes. But they've emerged as strong as ever, armed with a killer new track in the form of "I'll Be Waiting." Check out the video HERE.

Frontman vocalist Brandon Saller was the one to discuss this EP and the future plans for these guys.
1. Introduce yourself, tell me what you do in Hell Or Highwater, and how long the band has been together.
Brandon: Brandon Saller. Vocals. We've been rippin for a little over 2 years.
2. Where is the band based out of and what is your music scene like there? Are there any local bands you could recommend?
Brandon: We are based out if Southern California. We got millions of bands here. Some of my favs are Beta Wolf, and Assuming We Survive.
3. Why did the band want to call themselves Hell Or Highwater and does it have a meaning to it?
Brandon: It's nothing like Atreyu. It's a whole different monster. The name comes from our general outlook on this band. Do whatever it takes. Obstacles aside, we move forward. This is our life.
4. How would you describe your style? Which bands influenced your music?
Brandon: We're a rock band. Our influences range from Petty to In Flames.
5. Do you write your own songs? (Discuss the songwriting process in detail.)
Brandon: Yes. Usually it's a group effort. Starts w an idea and turns into a beast.
6. What are your songs about? (What specific themes do they cover?)
Brandon: Real life. Be it mine or someone else in the band.7. Is it important for you to paint visual pictures with the songs?
Brandon: Absolutely. Songs should be easily one's that fans can relate too.
8. What's your take on The Other Side as a whole?
Brandon: We're really excited about it. It was the first full group effort as a whole for us. The songs are a big more left of center compared to our last release.
9. Is there any story or concept behind the The Other Side title?
Brandon: It is one if the songs but the idea for us was that of seeing yourself as something great. We have great pride in this band. The album cover is a great portrait of this. We are the underdog but people need to remember that everyone was the underdog once.

Brandon: He's a genius. By far the best producer I've worked with.

Brandon: Matt came up w the concept. We told him and he nailed it.
12. Select two songs from The Other Side and what inspired the lyrics.
Brandon: Wrong is about when someone in your life is just not right. No matter how much you want them to be. So with times you just have to be real with yourself and move on. Remember the life is about the idea if death. People tend to remember the death of people, I think Due it's dramatic and heavy nature. People don't always die in peaceful ways. This song represents the thought if remembering the legacy and positive side if life and not the death. This song is for my grandfather.

Brandon: Wrong.
