By Christian Lamitschka for Country Music News International Magazine
Restless Road, the country powerhouse trio, is kicking off 2025 with a bang, releasing their electrifying new single, “Goin’ Out Like That.” This upbeat, post-breakup anthem, penned by Zach Abend, Jon Nite, and the band themselves, is a surefire hit for anyone ready to shake off heartache and embrace new beginnings. With a sold-out headlining tour already underway and a string of impressive releases under their belt, Restless Road is solidifying their place as a force to be reckoned with in the contemporary country scene.
“We’re so excited to share ‘Goin’ Out Like That’ with everybody,” the band enthuses. “This song was such a fun one for us to write and record. We hope it’s the song everyone needs, especially those who are mending broken hearts by toasting to someone new.” The track’s infectious energy and relatable lyrics capture the spirit of moving on, transforming heartbreak into a celebration of newfound freedom.
The release of “Goin’ Out Like That” follows their critically acclaimed ballad, “Work On Me,” which garnered praise from publications like Billboard and Country Swag. Billboard lauded the track as a “powerful, pop-inflected ballad” that “marks an auspicious musical start for the new year,” highlighting the “trio’s flawless harmonies and individual vocal talents.” These vocal talents, as Hoda Kotb of NBC’s TODAY aptly put it, deliver harmonies that “you feel in your soul.”
Building on this momentum, Restless Road is embarking on their highly anticipated “Goin’ Out Like That Tour,” featuring special guest Kelsey Hart. This 20-city headlining tour will take them to major markets across the United States and Canada, showcasing their dynamic live performances and captivating stage presence.
