“The Lost Boys EP is my favorite project so far. It contains some of my best writing and some of my favorite songs that I have ever written. We recorded this EP in a one-room shack behind my buddy’s house. It’s the same place I’ve recorded all my other work, so I hope to give my fans the most quintessential Wesko work possible,” says Wesko. “I’m super thankful to my hometown crowd that have rooted for me from the beginning and for the underscore works/Warner Records team that have helped make a country boy’s dream begin to come true.”

Living up to his promise of “real cowboy tunes,” the four-track body of work affirms Wesko as a dyed-in-the-wool country songwriter, dynamic vocalist, and pensive storyteller. The opener and title track Lost Boys hinges on briskly strummed acoustic guitar and endlessly quotable lines a la, “I spend all my nights somewhere between wrong and right, and I wonder how I ever made it out alive.” It culminates on a climactic chorus as he crowns himself, “Founder of the Lost Boys.” Then, there’s Psycho. It paints a gripping portrait of domestic unease and daily struggle as he pleads, “You think I’m psycho, don’t you mama?” Plus, the EP boasts the recently released Dreamer and Revelation.

Hailing from Kenansville, NC, Wesko has quietly emerged as a country maverick with a knack for “real cowboy tunes,” as he calls ‘em. Inspired by everyone from Neil Young and Eric Church to My Chemical Romance and Green Day, he has architected a raw and real style of his own. No stranger to hard work, he has impressively balanced a full schedule at University of Mount Olive with an intense full-time job as a foreman for an erosion control company—all the while gaining traction on songs such as Burning House and No Surprise. He also notably attracted an audience one fan-at-a-time, gaining traction locally and magnifying his imprint on social media. Inking a deal with underscore works recordings / Warner Records in 2024, Wesko holds nothing back on his debut Lost Boys EP and more to come.
