Fronted by 22 year old Mike Rosenberg, Passenger's music is an extraordinary mixture of acoustic folk in the storytelling tradition, and an epic-yet-intimate, hip hop and electronica-influenced modernity. Their first single since changing their name from Mike Rosenberg Band is Wicked Man's Rest, and Q4music.com has the world exclusive to show the video right here.

Fantastic video: haunting, somewhat twisted, the juxtaposition present in both the lyrics and the visuals combine to make an incredibly thoughtful and introspective video. So refreshing to see and hear something like this at this time of year when there is so much dross around!

I first heard this track on the radio whilst driving to work last week. I was completely mesmerised by it and didn't hear it again until today. I made a note of the band's name and immediately went to Google! I have been playing it all day and LOVE IT TO BITS! Can't wait to buy the album. Lyrics brilliant, tune brilliant - well done boys! You've made a lady very happy x

Hi everyone i have noticed that a few of you are asking when the Wicked Man's Rest is out. It is available to Pre Order from the download store on www.passengerofficial.com/shop and will be in the shops from Monday Feb 26th. Glad a lot of you like the song and hope to see you at a gig soon.
