Ships Have Sailed delivers an anthem of courage with “Rise”

Ships Have Sailed is the creation of vocalist/guitarist Will Carpenter. The project emerged as he was letting go of his other undertaking to focus on new music. It was not an easy task, but the decision definitely paid off. He found the renewed inspiration and drive to concoct a uniquely refreshing sound. His latest single “Rise” is a motivating anthem of hope illustrating a need to rise up and find your inner strength and resilience. The empowering track has a profound message we can all take from in this current landscape. Carpenter reveals, “In one of those odd moments of clarity, I just realized that it was here in this situation we are all living through is where it belongs…in the middle of this chaos, reminding us all that we can, and will, weather this storm.”

Genuine alt-rock with a bold pop structure, Ships Have Sailed’s distinct sound erupts with soulful serenity. In the beginning of 2020 they joined forces with Los Angeles duo Quitting Whitney and hit the road, but due the severity of COVID-19 the tour came to a halt. Carpenter felt like now was the perfect time to release “Rise”, an impassioned song oozing with fiery determination. The track inspires others to keep fighting and that’s something we can all use in these trying times.
