Brace yourself for a musical journey with British alt/rock sensation WESSON and their latest release, “Second Chances”. This four-piece band has crafted the ultimate feel-good end-of-summer anthem that’s bound to lift your spirits. This acts as the follow-up to their previous single release, titled “My Self”.
“Second Chances” is a song that dives deep into the human experience of reflection. It’s about those moments when you wish you could rewrite the past but ultimately find solace in acceptance. Chris Wesson, the driving force behind the band, acknowledges, “I’m not alone in having made mistakes along the way. So I hope this song gives some hope and comfort to those harbouring regrets and resentments.”

WESSON’s music is relatable, conversational, and deeply meaningful. With each band member bringing their own musical background to the table, the result is a harmonious mix of influences that create a sound entirely on their own. The band consists of bassist Callum Mangold-Jackson, guitarist Jimmy Brewer, and drummer Dale Luke Parker, who together with the frontman, craft music that resonates with a wide audience.
They are gearing up to release their debut studio album, set to be titled, “All We Are”, with the plan to release it next month, in October. Then, in February 2024, they plan to release these acoustic tracks onto streaming platforms as an EP, titled “Stay The Same”.
This song is a testament to the band’s desire to create an upbeat, summery track with an infectious feel-good vibe. The song straddles the line between nostalgia and modernity, blending retro styling with contemporary production.
Drawing inspiration from iconic bands like The Buzzcocks, The Libertines, and The Ramones, the four-piece infuses their music with vocal harmonies reminiscent of The Beatles and The Beach Boys. The result is a unique sound that captures the essence of both the past and present.
