Just another millennial guy with large hair trying in earnest to take on the weight of the world, Ron Gallo is wise beyond his years. Starting off in a band called Toy Soldiers, Gallo released his debut solo album HEAVY META earlier this year. It’s a reflection of his last few years that brought emotional and mental turmoil, loss, confusion, breakdown and internal growth.

Louisville’s White Reaper makes a bold statement with their second album, The World’s Best American Band. When asked about the title, guitarist/vocalist Tony Esposito said, “Because we are the best. Just like Muhammad Ali was the greatest, you gotta say it out loud for people to believe it. We didn’t make this record or start this band because we wanted to come across in a single, certain way. We just make records that we’d want to hear. We started doing this because it’s fun as hell, just as much now as it was when we were 14.” Download “Judy French” off The World’s Best American Band and learn more about White Reaper at their Official Website, “Like” them on Facebook and follow them on Twitter.

Townes Van Zandt once said, “There are only two kinds of songs. There’s the blues, and there’s zip-a-dee-doo-dah.” Son Volt took that quote to heart and titled their 9th album Notes Of Blue. Lead singer Jay Farrar says, “For years I’ve been drawn to the passion, common struggle and possibility for redemption that’s always been a part of the blues. Everyone has to pay the rent and get along with their significant others, so many of the themes are universal. For me, the blues fills that void that’s there for religion, really. That’s the place I turn to be lifted up.” Download “Back Against The Wall” off Notes Of Blue and learn more about Son Volt at their Official Website, “Like” them on Facebook and follow them on Twitter.
