Friday, December 5, 2025 – Alt rock’s breakout act to watch, Nate Vickers, ushers in a new chapter with his brand new EP, “Don’t Look Down”, out today via Oxide Records. Embracing a bolder, rock edge, today’s release is led by the anthemic title track, “Don’t Look Down”, and it’s brand new music video, watch HERE or at the link below.

Channeling the rush and collapse of a love that once felt live-saving, “Don’t Look Down” captures the freefall of the aftermath. Anchored by a towering chorus, the EP as whole leans into Nate’s heavier rock instincts while still leaving space for his vulnerable, confessional moments at the core of his writing.

To further celebrate today’s release, Nate Vickers is bringing “Don’t Look Down” and the rest of his acclaimed discography to the stage for an intimate run in his home state of Texas. These debut headline dates mark a full circle moment for the Houston-based artist, serving as his first shows since joining Jared Leto and Thirty Seconds To Mars on stage for a one-time performance of “The Kill”, a moment sparked by his viral cover. Tickets are available HERE.

Digging into the meaning of “Don’t Look Down,” Nate Vickers reflects:

“This song comes from the moment you realize love isn’t saving you anymore-it’s slowly killing you. It’s about holding on to someone who keeps letting you fall, and burying the pain until you can’t hide it anymore.”

Speaking on today’s EP release and finally taking these songs on the road, Nate continues:

“‘Don’t Look Down’ is my way of ending the year strong, while also closing this chapter of my career. I’m extremely excited for my debut headlining shows and all the new, heavier music I’ll be dropping in 2026.”

With his smash hit “A Little Too Late” cementing Nate Vickers as a breakout voice and his previous single “Parasite” pushing his sound into a darker, more visceral territory, latest singles “Falling Away From Heaven” and “Deja Vu” build on that rising momentum. Seeing Vickers blending gritty guitars with pain and the pursuit of healing, his latest EP, “Don’t Look Down” captures an artist unafraid to bare his scars while reaching for something greater.

Inspired by icons such as Linkin Park, Three Days Grace, and Bad Omens, Nate Vickers has crafted a sound that is unmistakably his own, drawing more than 1.5 million followers to his TikTok and 540K to his Instagram. Between viral, late-night covers and playlist-dominating originals, Vickers has also earned his place as a standout favorite on Pandora and Sirius XM’s Octane. What began as a spark has now become an alt-rock wildfire.

For Houston-born artist Nate Vickers, perfection isn’t a pursuit – it’s a mandate. Guided by an unflinching commitment to total artistic integrity and execution, Vickers has spent years carving out his own lane where raw emotion meets dark, cinematic soundscapes and precision is everything.

Gravitating towards rock and metal from a young age, Vickers found music early. “I was a big fan of Kiss when I was a kid,” he recalls. “I watched their concert on TV and thought, ‘that’s incredible.’” Around age five Vickers formed an unlikely friendship with an eccentric older neighbor and musician who sold him his first drum set and taught him guitar chords. From there, the obsession never stopped. In high school, he began to find his voice thanks to screamo youtube covers he recorded in his bedroom. By 18, Vickers began teaching himself to sing. A natural performer, Vickers has since honed a powerfully confident voice defined by depth, raw emotion, and grit. Holding nothing back, he stylistically sells every word he sings – a foundational mentality to his creative identity.

He carried this mindset into the studio when he started recording original music in 2016. Teaming up with producer Robby Joyner after the dissolution of an early band, Vickers launched his solo project. To this day, Robby is his producer and creative partner. “We align really well stylistically and creatively. If we have to do eight vocal sessions for one song, we’ll do it. We don’t care … whatever makes it perfect. We both have extremely high standards.” Vickers has since garnered more than 16 million streams on Spotify and 1.5 million followers on Tiktok.

Along the way, however, Vickers faced waves of self-doubt. “I was impressionable and cared about other people’s opinions a lot. It finally came to a point where I was either gonna quit doing music or fix that.” With newfound inspiration, he’s entering a revived era of unapologetic artistic vision. “I’ve always known exactly what I wanted to do. What I want to do right now is the same thing I wanted to do when I was 16,” he says.
