The band created by Wolfgang Van Halen find themselves at #1 on the MediaBase and BDS Active Rock Radio Charts. The song hit #1 on BDS last week making this the second week “Distance” has topped that chart. Releasing the song back in November 2020 through his partnership with Explorer1 Music Group, “Distance” is a tribute to Wolfgang’s father and guitar icon Eddie Van Halen.

All of Wolfgang’s proceeds from “Distance” are being donated to Mr. Holland’s Opus. The emotional video has been viewed over 4 million times on YouTube and can be seen here: https://found.ee/DistanceVideo.

“The response to ‘Distance’ has been incredibly overwhelming. The immense support from everyone at radio who played the song and all of the fans who called requesting it has been more than I could have imagined,” states Wolfgang Van Halen. “Thank you to everyone who helped me get my first #1 song. I wish Pop was here to see it.”
