Denver’s Vermillion Road have released their new single “Only One,” a melodic pop track that captures the essence of their newly evolved sound. Starting as a hard rock band, Vermillion Road have fully embraced this new direction and brings the high energy into the alternative pop genre. Listen to the song now below.
“’Only One’ is a song about waking up in a haze after a crazy party, only to discover that everyone is gone and you’re all alone in a stranger’s house wondering what happened the night before,” says guitarist Hunter Heurich. “It was inspired by my personal experiences in college, as well as stories I’ve heard from others.”
Vocalist Will Robison and guitarist Hunter Heurich have been playing music together since they were teenagers. Both of these original band members have synesthesia, the joining of a person’s senses, and really want the listeners to feel the music as they do. For Robison and Heurich, this means hearing a certain sound resulting in the visualization of a certain color. Along with drummer, Logan Hileman, and bass player, Gil Leyva, the Vermillion Road boys have made a name for themselves in the Denver music scene. Playing at events such as the Vans Warped Tour and Coors Light Westword Music Showcase has led to them appearing throughout the Southwest U.S. on radio and television. With their confidence on stage and strong influences by bands like Imagine Dragons and OneRepublic, Vermillion Road is more than excited to travel down the path of a new genre and make a name for themselves.
