London-based singer-songwriter Adam Wedd returns with his electrifying new single, “Pedal to the Metal,” a track that fuses rock, country, and soul into a high-energy anthem. Drawing inspiration from artists like The Black Keys, Johnny Cash, and CeeLo Green, Wedd crafts a timeless and refreshingly original sound.
Written in a moment of spontaneity outside Dublin Castle in Camden, Pedal to the Metal celebrates freedom, adventure, and the thrill of the open road. The track’s origins can be traced back to a boozy summer afternoon spent with collaborator Leo Abrahamsen, when the duo effortlessly translated their camaraderie into music. Co-produced by Paul Tipler, the song was recorded in various London locations, including Finsbury Park and Unit 13 Studio in Bermondsey, adding to its organic and raw energy.
From the very first note, Pedal to the Metal immerses listeners in a gritty, foot-stomping groove, driven by pulsating rhythms, bluesy guitar licks, and Wedd’s signature soulful vocals. The song’s lyrics capture a carefree, rebellious spirit, making it the perfect soundtrack for late-night drives and spontaneous getaways. Whether you’re craving the rush of an open highway or just need a sonic escape, this track delivers with undeniable energy and infectious charm.
As Wedd gears up for the release of his upcoming EP, “Merchant Man,” set to drop in May 2025, Pedal to the Metal sets the stage for what promises to be an exhilarating musical journey. If this track is any indication, Adam Wedd is ready to take listeners along for the ride—full speed ahead.
