New Jersey rock/metal torchbearers Who On Earth return with a vengeance, unleashing their blistering new single “Vigilance,” accompanied by an incendiary official music video. The release follows the momentum of the band’s critically praised 2025 EP Smoke & Mirrors and signals the next chapter in their quest for world domination!
Commenting on the single, bassist Pete Rizzi says:
“‘Vigilance’ was written for one reason and one reason only: to deliver both a warning and a call to unity. As we become more divided as a country, the elite continue to gain wealth and power at our expense, unabated. This is a “we’ve had enough” cry from the urban streets of Trenton, NJ!“
“Vigilance” delivers a crushing preview of what Who On Earth have in store for 2026—sharp riffs, thunderous rhythms, and unflinching intensity. The single arrives ahead of the band’s upcoming spring tour supporting Fozzy, where fans can experience the new material live. Tour dates and tickets are available now at whoonearththeband.com/shows.

About Who On Earth:
Who On Earth cut its teeth through relentless gigging across the New York tri-state area, with founding members Coosh and Pete previously tearing up stages as MadHaus. During 2020, the longtime collaborators shifted focus from covers to original material, quickly writing ten songs and entering Sonic Stomp Studio with producer Mike Orlando (Category 7, Adrenaline Mob). Joined by drummer Joe D’Aqui, the group crafted a heavy, story-driven sound rooted in influences like Black Sabbath, Iron Maiden, Metallica, Alice in Chains, and Tool. Despite pandemic delays, the sessions yielded their debut full-length album “Blame”, released in October 2022.
Following the addition of guitarists Bruce Gatewood and Johnny James Barone, the band gained traction with a heavier reimagining of Toto’s “Hold the Line,” now their most-streamed track. Lineup changes continued with drummer Howie Fallon joining in 2024, bringing renewed chemistry and power, though tragedy struck later that year with the passing of Gatewood. In late 2024, Jimmy Kocha joined, filling the role of co-lead guitarist, solidifying the lineup that is currently in full force today. Honoring his legacy, the band pushed forward, releasing the “Smoke & Mirrors” EP in March 2025—a sharp, socially reflective six-song release. The group is currently at work on a new full-length album, slated for release in early 2026.
Lineup:
