Featured Tune: "Out On Stage" from Wide Spread

Back in the Spotlight — Wide Spread Roars with “Out On Stage”

After decades away from the limelight, Austria’s Wide Spread storms back with “Out On Stage,” a full-throttle reminder of what real hard rock sounds like when it’s played with heart, grit, and unfiltered joy. The track doesn’t just nod to the band’s roots; it grabs them by the collar and sets them on fire.

From the opening riff, you can hear echoes of AC/DC’s swagger and Van Halen’s gleam, but Wide Spread isn’t simply chasing nostalgia. They’ve managed to thread the spirit of the ’80s through a distinctly modern pulse, sharper production, tighter rhythm work, and vocals that carry the kind of lived-in power only years of silence can breed. It’s the sound of a band that’s been waiting patiently, now bursting out of the gate with everything to prove and nothing to lose.

The guitars bite and blaze, trading blows with drums that hit like a live wire, while the bass locks it all together in a groove that feels both vintage and untamed. There’s a raw, kinetic energy here, a celebration of stage lights, sweat, and second chances. “Out On Stage” doesn’t just announce Wide Spread’s return; it reclaims their place in hard rock’s lineage.

For longtime fans and new listeners alike, this isn’t just a comeback. It’s a declaration: Wide Spread is home again, and they’ve brought the thunder with them.
