DREAM RACER drop brand new single ‘Save Your Breath”

By Jason Bruckner

SoCal pop-punk band Dream Racer have dropped their brand new single, 'Save Your Breath.' The anthemic track delivers an uplifting message of overcoming any obstacle that life throws at you and working on creating a better reality for yourself.

Speaking on the song, drummer Michael Raso says, “‘Save Your Breath’ is the beginning of what Dream Racer seeks to bring to the music scene; a fresh take on pop-punk utilising anthemic hooks and driving instrumentals. With positive lyrics about navigating life and relationships, ‘Save Your Breath’ tells a story about creating one’s reality and deconstructing the lies we’ve been fed.”

The band also has an accompanying music video for the track, directed by Kilo Alexander & Casey Wieber. With special effects by Weiber, the clip builds on the song’s theme as the band plays the world around.

You may not have heard of DREAM RACER yet but this SoCal group of four best friends are quickly emerging into the ever-growing pop-punk scene. Led by frontman Robert Rodello and joined by guitarist Manny Arrendondo, bassist Anthony Bueno + drummer Michael Raso, DREAM RACER is on a mission to deliver inspiring music with heartfelt hooks and passionate performances.

Pulling inspiration from Blink 182 and Dashboard Confessional to The Cars and even Taylor Swift, DREAM RACER is creating its fresh sound rooted in a punk rock upbringing.

Taking a strong DIY approach, Rodello brought four songs into the studio in 2020 to record with producer Kyle Black (State Champs, Paramore) and Raul Cuellar (NOFX, Bad Suns), which would turn into the debut EP, Gloomy Eyes. Released in the summer of 2021, the debut received a positive reception for bringing a nostalgic yet refreshing sound that seems to blend memories of growing up in the thriving Warped Tour era with a thoughtful look of adulthood.
By the end of 2021, DREAM RACER made its live debut at Chain Reaction in Anaheim, California, quickly showcasing the solid and energetic performances they will bring for years. Amidst performing all over Southern California in 2022, the group began working with platinum songwriter/producer Steve Klein (New Found Glory, State Champs) on what will be a round of four hard-hitting singles. While embracing the idea of writing soulful music, any audience can relate to; the band is equally committed to having fun with the process ensuring fans will have just as much fun singing along at shows. DREAM RACER is a band you’ll want to keep on your radar throughout 2023.

‘Save Your Breath’ is out now and is the band’s first new piece of music following the release of their 2021 debut EP, Gloomy Eyes.
