The Higher Desires Release Unknown Soldiers (Veterans Edition)

Seattle-based indie rock project The Higher Desires has released Unknown Soldiers (Veterans Edition), a moving tribute to those who have served and sacrificed. Written and produced by William Walbaum, the track blends soaring guitars, emotional lyricism, and a haunting electric guitar performance of Taps — a moment that transforms the song into a powerful reflection on loss and gratitude.

Lines like “They’re the unknown soldiers, all the heroes” capture the heart of its message, while the extended version gives listeners time to pause and reflect. Beyond its musical strength, the release carries a meaningful mission: 100% of royalties go directly to charities supporting veterans’ health and well-being.

Featuring guest guitarist Michael Stoican and released under Def Garage Records, Unknown Soldiers (Veterans Edition) stands as both a rock anthem and a heartfelt salute.
