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:
Seeksorrow
Light fades from a colorless sky
A fair day’s hope barely survived
To such broken lives
Always the worst end
Scenes come to mind
You ought to laugh so loud
You’d be surprised
You’re not the only one
Who’s ever felt denied
A promised end
When going all in
Is one’s only out to find
To such broken lives
Dramas form ever more tales of
How you’ve suffered
Like no one else can
Scenes come to mind
Like cancer
Lusting for our tears
Longing to cut with
Those on a fine knife edge
Cognitive biases
Howling for justice
From the exempt
And I feel
Crushed by the load
Drawn in and lessened by
These truly vile norms
Consciousness undermined
Strung right along
Nothing left to be learned
Consumed by the madness
And I see no sign of a result
Locked in your blind views of the goal
As your sort
Awaits a new crisis
To profit by its bombast
No interest in ever solving
These problems of our
Devolving morale
