Fearless Records have a knock for signing bands that go on to blow up - case in point, our very own Windwaker, who are proving they're a force to be reckoned with on a global scale, but another band signed to the label you should be across is Archetypes Collide!

Having covered them across singles 'Undertow' and 'My Own Device', we see not only potential, but a band finding their feet with new sounds with every release, and their new track 'What If I Fall' has the band showcasing their stadium rock sound with frontman Kyle Pastor's range akin to that of Caleb Shomo (Beartooth) meets Brent Smith (Shinedown) and Aussie Shimon "Shim" Moore (Sick Puppies) with a dash of screams to please their heavier fanbase.

On the new single, Kyle reveals it's about the dread of letting people around you down

"I've always had a deep rooted fear of letting my friends and family down... Even though I know they'll love me in the midst of my failures, the anxiety of it all buries me and pushes me further away from them. I hope this song can be an anthem for those who feel that same burden."


Archetypes Collide have also announced their new self-titled album is set for release on March 31st.

As this band grow and release new music, they're proving time and time again that there's still plenty of untapped acts out there just waiting for you to discover them. Don't get left behind, we got a good feeling about this band...

Archetypes Collide is Kyle Pastor (vocals), Brandon Baker and Jared Knister (guitars), Ky Sanders (bass), and Tyler Flamm (drums).
