NEW from R2S…
Callouses // R.P.Smith (prod. SEDVTED) - SINGLE & MUSIC VIDEO: This debut single is both a reflection and reimagination of the music that inspired it. Callouses combines the hard hitting sounds of riff-heavy rock and "hard working man" songs with lyrics that reflect the genre's reality and embrace the insecurities of a new artist. SEDVTED's production gives the track an unmistakable energy and direction through its rapid progression and chaotic guitar solo. Wrapped up as a love letter to the instrument that started it all for R.P.Smith, this song is a proud beginning of the ready2start music catalogue.

Mvndeep
If you enjoy unique, thought-provoking, and sometimes even unsettling art, then you should take a look at Mandeep’s work. With subject matter including mythology, theology, and folklore, these illustrations will keep you fascinated with every post. Usually taking a monochrome style of black ink work with a striking color to contrast, Mandeep puts his own spin on figures that many of us know from legends past.
However, if you find a figure that is unfamiliar, you need not worry. Most illustrations are accompanied by a short video that both shows his drawing process and explains the context and story behind the figure via narration. Featured (from left to right) are Michael, Metatron, and Raphael from last year’s series of Archangels.

Nathan Zed
"Instant classic" personified. Whether he's commenting on the human experience or what makes media special, Nathan's videos will uplift and inspire you. I highly recommend you watch his music commentary videos with titles that begin “The Lost Art of…” and “The Power of…”
Tracing Paces - (self-titled)
Soaring vocals, blistering guitar licks, thumping percussion, and skillful bass lines. This band revives a sound and style to bring you a project meant to be heard in a stadium
