New York rock artist Ian Bamberger has released his second album, Headaches & Heartaches, featuring singles “I Know I Know Nothing,” “The River,” and “Life Isn’t a Free Ride.” The 10-track album explores themes of love, death, addiction, and the passing of time, through honest lyrics and narrative songwriting.

I hope people enjoy this album and share the love that I have for rock and the music as a whole!”
The album features music, lyrics, production, guitar, and vocals by Ian Bamberger, backing vocals by Kat Geithman, drums by Dr. Bill Grillo, bass by Brian Gearty, and was engineered by Nick Semanchick.
