Stephen Wicks Sounds the Alarm With Potent New Tune The Doomsday Clock (85 Seconds to Midnight)

Every now and then, an artist's backstory is every bit as fascinating as their music. Take Stephen Wicks, for example, a successful property entrepreneur and corporate executive turned singer/songwriter. Seventy-four years young, Stephen released his first single, This Is My Tune, in 2024, and he hasn't looked back since - adding six more tracks to his discography. Today, the spotlight falls on The Doomsday Clock (85 Seconds to Midnight), Stephen's brand new song, and one I am honoured to share with you.

Inspired by the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists' Doomsday Clock and the ever-growing threat of global catastrophe, Stephen's latest offering is a driving piece of guitar-driven rock. Urgent, cinematic, and powerfully intense, it takes an unflinching look at climate change, nuclear proliferation, AI, and geopolitical instability.

Joining Stephen on the track are Stefan Hauk, one of Australia's most exciting young guitarists, and acclaimed British producer George Shilling (Blur, Primal Scream). Their involvement reflects the same philosophy that guided Stephen's business career: if you want the best results, you work with the best people.

Potent, timely, and delivered with conviction, The Doomsday Clock is exactly the kind of song the modern world needs more of right now. And to top it all off, it's accompanied by a striking music video you can watch below!
