Instrumental Prog-Rockers Consider the Source found themselves with the opportunity to collaborate on an unlikely merchandise item about 4 years ago. After a show in Michigan, long-time fan DJ approached the band offering to make a custom hot sauce through his company, Lost Capital Foods. What seemed like a pipe dream to the 3 musicians at the time became very real months later with a taste testing and refining of the original recipe.

“End in Tears” is the guttural and gritty first single from the independent debut album, Generations. Slated for a 2023 release, Generations is written and recorded by Nashville-based newcomer, Nightless Days – the collaborative brainchild led by Dublin-native, Seamus Ross. One of three songs recorded over the span of just three days at the historic EastWest Studios in Los Angeles, “End in Tears” conjures themes of admiration and envy while elevating the project’s darker tones through authentic and honest lyrics.

“Long Way Home” is the second single and video from Marcus Gad & Tribe’s upcoming new album titled Ready For Battle, which is scheduled for a February 10, 2023, release. Gad, the rising reggae star from the island nation of New Caledonia, returns here to work with his usual backing band, Tribe, for a more organic, roots oriented sound. A warm contrast from his last project where he and his producer Tamal dived into modern, programmed beats on the Brave New World album (2021).
