Honing their sound which brings an R&B twist to the reggae-rock genre, the band worked with the renowned reggae-rock producer Danny Kalb on Welcome to Florida. They recorded at both Chris Montague’s home studio Oceanside Audio in Boynton Beach, FL, at the band’s good friend Dean Fishback’s studio Seven Hills in Lauderhill, FL. Logan Rex spent a few days up at White Star Studio outside Charlottesville, VA laying down the vocals.
Artikal Sound System is Chris Montague (guitar), Fabian Acuña (bass), Christopher Cope (keys), Adam Kampf (drums), and Logan Rex (vocals). Together on the album, they have created a sound that is edgy and raw with emotion but presented with an authentic voice that is based on life events and fused with personal feelings. To date, Artikal Sound System has released 5 songs off the album. New music includes “When I Wanna,” “Stayed,” “Spiritual Broadcaster,” ft. The Elovaters, “Dissolve” and “You’re An Asshole.”
