Featuring Garrett Barbuto

Calgary, AB – March 2025 — Genre-blending indie project Accidental Martyr is back with a vibrant new release, featuring the powerful vocals of Calgary’s own Garrett Barbuto. Written and composed by Richard Coutts, the track delivers high-energy  accompanied with heartfelt lyrics that offer listeners a much-needed pause from the noise of everyday life.

Accidental Martyr has built a reputation for mending alternative rock, folk, and indie-pop into a sound that’s both fresh and emotionally grounded. Coutts’ songwriting pulls no punches—layering introspective lyrics with infectious rhythms and hooks that stay with you. His previous releases, including “Wide Awake & Worn Out” and “Signal Fire”, have earned praise for their pure honesty and genre-defying style.

This latest track continues that tradition while bringing something new to the table. Garrett Barbuto’s vocal performance injects grit and urgency, adding another dimension to Coutts’ melodic arrangements. The result is a song that feels both immediate and timeless—perfect for fans of artists like The War on Drugs, Jason Isbell, or Hozier.

“This one’s about letting yourself unplug,” says Coutts. “We get caught in the speed of everything—this track is a reminder to breathe, and to listen.”

Whether you’re a longtime follower of Accidental Martyr or just discovering their music, this release marks an exciting new chapter—one that stays true to their roots while pushing their sound forward.

The new single is available now on all major streaming platforms.
