The Band of Heathens Release New Song 'All That Remains' That Pays Tribute To The Power Of Love

Ed Jurdi of The Band of Heathens has always been a Beatles fan. In a recent interview with PEOPLE, Jurdi, 46, recalled, "I remember dancing around in the living room to their Magical Mystery Tour record on the turntable. I would be sitting there with my parents and my dad would point out the sounds of the bass guitar and the vocals." Furthermore, Gordy Quist of The Band of Heathens, still tightly clutches memories of the illustrious group in his hands today. Quist, 42, told PEOPLE, "My first real musical memory was watching A Hard Day's Night with my dad. I remember as a kid watching the end scene where everybody's losing their minds. I remember just staring at the TV and just being totally floored by that." "The Beatles are a return to home in a way," Jurdi added. "They're like the sun. If you play the kind of music we play, it's something you need to know about and be educated about, you know?"

And that influence can be clearly heard in the spirit of the fiercely independent Austin-based rock and roll band led by the dual lead vocalists and songwriters who began their careers by honing their craft on the wood paneling of bar after bar room before emerging as one of the most well-known independent acts today. But a few years ago, that group was worn out. According to Quist, "Our life has been this adventure of rock and roll touring nonstop in a million different cities all the time. [The pandemic] was our first time really getting to really experience what to others might be mundane." Also read: Grey’s Anatomy “couples” sang Taylor Swift’s songs to celebrate Valentine’s Day To this Jurdi added, "The pandemic gave us this ability to be home and refocus on the family. We could focus on these little things that we had missed since we had been kind of racing through our entire adult life thus far." Additionally, one of those "little things" was the love of their families. And The Band of Heathens' latest song, "All That Remains," is a psychedelic yet romantically charged look at the somewhat convoluted adoration that gives life its great beauty.

"That love is the eternal engine that brought us here and will be continuously spinning long after we're gone." On another note, the sentimental rockers' ninth studio album Simple Things, which will be released on March 17, has been produced with a focus on the values that brought them to this point in the first place.
