BIO:
Widetrack is the musical partnership of Ron Tippin and his 16 year-old son, Zach.
The duo's "Alterna-Prog" sound strikes a balance between the moody-deep undertones of such progressive groups as Pink Floyd, Radiohead, Porcupine Tree, The Mars Volta, etc., with the heaviness of alternative and hard rock bands like Soundgarden, Queens Of The Stone Age, Tool, STP, etc.
Between 2007 and 2016, Ron self-released the band's first three albums, 'Widetrack', 'Widetrack II', and 'Widetrack III', Zach's recording debut, as bassist.
Beginning in January 2019, the father-son team wrote, recorded and released one new song each month, marking Zach's debut as a songwriter and recording engineer, as well as the first time Ron had written Widetrack music with another person.
The twelve songs comprise Widetrack's fourth album, The Unwakening, released on April 23rd, 2020 (Zach's 16th birthday).
The band was in the process of booking live dates throughout 2020, but those plans have been put on hold, due to the pandemic crisis. In the meantime, they are writing and recording new music, and playing live streaming performances.
LYRICS:
Heretic
Unholy gifts
Plague the raptures
Of your cult mirage
No exit
Once inspired to enthrone
This savior
A hallowed vanity homage
Confident your rights overrule all
Though you can’t say why
Severing what’s left
Of this great divide
Sad to see how well you fail life
Some fall for such
Mind-numbing lies
But I can see what
Their motives are
Preemptive condemnation
Of the unsaved ones
False witness
Vindicated to inflame
This cold war
Folklore prophesies draw in
Fragile, naive minds
Yearning to fulfill their promised time
Laughably obscured
From unbelievers
Modded for the virtual age
Charlatan
So now you’ll
Curse our heads
Willing yourselves
Called
While scenes of crime
Feed your views
Of this side
You fight
Some fall for such
Mind-numbing lies
But I can see what
Their motives are
