‘Warplay – Wait’ is a thunderous, emotionally charged rock anthem that hits with a wave of infectious energy and nostalgic soul. Lead by frontman David Slayton, powerhouse drummer Reid Sessions, and bass wizard Mason Perkins, this trio delivers a track that echoes the golden days of indie rock while injecting it with a raw, modern vitality.
From the first strum, Wait grabs you with dynamic guitar riffs, urgent rhythms, and a melody that demands to be played loud. David’s vocals soar effortlessly over the instrumentation—equal parts vulnerable and explosive. His delivery captures the burning intensity of longing and love, the ache of missing someone so much that every second apart feels like a lifetime. That pain is crystallized in the emotional plea: “So don’t make me wait, honey.”
There’s a Kings of Leon-style electricity running through the veins of this track—anthemic, passionate, and primed for sing-along moments under festival lights. The chorus feels like a rallying cry for anyone who’s ever been suspended in the uncertainty of waiting for someone who might never come.
The lyrics paint a vivid picture of fleeting magic and emotional turbulence, set against a backdrop of Los Angeles nights, psychedelic beginnings, and a restless heart. The track’s energy builds masterfully into a spectacular crescendo, driven by a blazing guitar solo that rips through the final chorus like a firestorm.
Wait is a modern rock gem—poetic, cathartic, and undeniably catchy. It’s the kind of song that sticks to your skin, leaves you humming the chorus for days, and reminds you why rock music still hits where it hurts. Warplay have landed a standout with Wait—and this is one wait you won’t regret.
