Return To Dust share video for new single ‘Sweet Escape’

Author Benedetta Baldin - 30.6.2026

Buzzed-about rock band Return To Dust — Matty Bielawski [guitar, vocals], Graham Stanush [bass, vocals], Sebastian Gonzalez [guitar], and London Hudson [drums] — are back with a brand new track and it blows the roof off with the buzzsaw guitars and haunting, lingering vocal melodies the band is known for.

Today, the band shares the video for new single ‘SWEET ESCAPE’. Watch it here.

“Sometimes the hardest thing to do is to stop holding on to a losing situation,” the band shares about the song.

2026 has been quite a banner year for Return To Dust thus far. Let’s recap.

They have led the rock revival, as their recent single ‘BORED‘ ascended to the top of the Active Rock Radio charts and the band won the iHeartRadio Music Awards “On The Verge” award. They hit the road on a headline tour and also supported Yungblud through the spring. RTD also shared its cover of OutKast‘s genre-smashing, 2003-released, Grammy-winning, and chart-topping mega hit ‘Hey Ya!’,  featuring synth production from Puscifer‘s Mat Mitchell. 

Watch the band’s performance of ‘Hey Ya!‘ at Red Rocks here.

The band shows zero signs of slowing down, and will remain on the road through the fall. Currently on a festival run which so far has seen them dazzle crowds at festivals including Germany’s Rock Am Ring/Rock Im Park and the UK’s Download Festival, the band will also support Breaking Benjamin and Chevelle in Europe, play their debut UK Headline show – already sold out a month before it happens – feature on a handful of Yungblud makeup dates, and will then return to the U.S. to support Theory of a Deadman and Sevendust.

All upcoming UK and Europe dates are listed below, and more information can be found here.
