Alt rock's breakout act to watch, Nate Vickers, returns with a gripping new single, "Parasite," out now via Oxide Records. With "Parasite," Vickers dives deep to explore the darker, more vulnerable side of his signature sound. Watch the new video for "Parasite", directed by Nate, HERE.
Digging into the heart of "Parasite," Nate Vickers shares:
"“Parasite” is a reflection of a period in my life where I lost sight of who I was as an artist. I found myself surrounded by influences that clouded my judgment and led me away from my instincts, leaving me in a place of deep self-doubt. For a while, I wasn’t creating from a place that felt genuine. This song marks a turning point—a moment of clarity and reclamation. Writing it was part of the process of reconnecting with myself and finding the courage to trust my own voice again."
Fueled by raw emotion and unapologetic honesty, "Parasite" explores the toxic undercurrents of relationships, delivered through gut-punch lyricism paired with soaring hooks. Channeling the push and pull of toxicity and self-discovery, this track features Vickers blending gritty guitars with pain and the pursuit of healing.
Inspired by iconic bands such as Linkin Park, Incubus, and Nirvana, Nate Vickers has crafted a sound that is unmistakably his own, earning him 2 million followers across social media and praise from Sirius XM's Octane. Further fueling Vickers' rise, his previous single, "A Little Too Late", racked up an impressive 1 million streams on Pandora and more than half a million on Spotify.
