BACK

The best country songs have always been fearless, and Heartwreckers are here to remind Nashville of that. Comprised of Brock Butler and Ryan Garrett, this duo brings an unfiltered, no-nonsense approach to their music, combining raw lyrics with anthemic hooks. Hailing from Boerne, Texas, the pair didn’t meet until they both found their way to Nashville, but their shared passion for honest songwriting made them an instant fit.
 

Their upcoming debut EP, Shut Up And Drink, produced by Andrew Baylis (Jelly Roll, Pecos & The Rooftops) and mixed by Jim Cooley, is a collection of five bold tracks that Ryan dubs “Country. Ass. Rock.” The lead single, “Shut Up,” offers a candid and surprisingly tender conversation between friends, mixing humor with heartbreak in a way that only Heartwreckers can.
 

Both Brock and Ryan have impressive musical résumés before forming the band: Brock, a Louisiana native, made waves as a songwriter and performer, touring in a reggae band and working with major names like Tim McGraw. Meanwhile, Ryan embraced his rock roots on the Warped Tour. Now, together, they’re pushing country music forward by bringing their rebellious, boundary-breaking style to the forefront.
 

“I want the fans to feel the music and sing the words and mean it,” Brock says. “Not because they heard a song 1,000 times, but because they heard it one time and it grabbed them.”
 

“We’re not scared to be told ‘no,’ and move forward anyway,” says Ryan, summing up their approach. With live shows booked and a buzz around their debut, Heartwreckers are poised to make waves with their fearless storytelling and dynamic stage presence. Whether it’s Brock’s grounded vocals or Ryan’s energetic performances, they’re committed to giving their fans the real deal — country music with grit, heart, and plenty of rock & roll attitude.
 

“We can all see it starting to happen. It’s got the beauty of grassroots, the beauty of great talent, and a lot of rock & roll,” Brock says. “Music is supposed to be one big melting pot and there’s nothing cooler than that.”
