We recently had the distinct honor to check out the new single “Point Of No Return “which is out via H1 Massive from Connecticut indie and alt-rock artist Joey Wit. You can listen to “Point Of No Return “ Here

In a musical landscape that at times can be somewhat mundane, it is so refreshing to find an artist like Joey Wit. We felt an instant connection to his smartly written infectious new single “Point Of No Return “

“Point Of No Return is introspective earworm, a magnetic song of wistful longing, paints a vivid portrait of a day spent alone in New York City, reminiscing on a lost love. “A Point of No Return” is a buoyant daydream of psych-pop bursts that push and pull, intertwining lyrical wordplay with glistening guitarwork that bridges a flirtatious gap between American and English influences. 

Joey Witt comes across as relatable singer-songwriter who is a skill storyteller who carries a hint of intrigue and mystery in his music .

To understand where Wit is now is to understand where he’s come from; a professional baseball career cut short due to injury, an engagement abruptly called off, a life trajectory that has taken him around the country and back again. All of those things are mere footnotes in his story of the now. Delivering his lived-in lyrics with a barstool wisdom and the chords from his guitar with a confident, playful jangle, “A Point of No Return” is a magnetic song of wistful longing, about looking back in order to look forward – and that helps define Wit’s still-unfolding journey.

“For anyone who’s been through that, they’ll know the range of emotions from the hope and excitement to the fear and anxiety of being vulnerable again,” he admits. “The chorus is quite literally me trying to express, or really just convince myself, that it was ok to feel these things again for someone and go ‘all in’ – even though it didn’t work out in the end.”

“A Point of No Return” was penned by Wit; produced, engineered, and mixed by Mick Connolly at Red Room Sound Studio in Torrington, Connecticut; and mastered by H1 Massive’s John Eye at Beach House Studios in Weymouth, Massachusetts. Appearing on the track alongside Wit, who in addition to vocals contributed acoustic and electric guitars, bass, and percussion, are  Matt Starr (drums), Mick Connolly (electric guitar, bass, backing vocals, and percussion), Clay Selmont (electric guitar), and Lucinda Rowe (backing vocals and piano). There’s a cohesion amongst the players that speaks to the dynamism and drive at play in the tune. 

Joey Wit’s sophomore record “Rose Gold”. It’s a record due out in the fall on H1 Massive that includes contributions from 2015 Rock & Roll Hall of Fame guitarist Ricky Byrd (Joan Jett & The Blackhearts) and drummer Matt Starr (Ace Frehley, Mr. Big). 

We are absolutely smitten with “Point Of No Return” and cannot wait for more from Joey Wit.
