NEW from R2S…

Igniam, Laguna, Taurus, Blood Eagle & Rising
Igniam is an acoustic folk rock powerhouse on the struggle of the soul. With guitars, mandolins, harmonicas, and featured violin and vocal talent, this track embodies an epic sound of absolution by fire.
Taurus is a slow and sweet ballad of a life of shared love. Smooth electric guitars, live drums, basslines, and piano relay a feeling of pure connection with a bittersweet instrumental breakdown you must hear to experience.
Blood Eagle is a hard rock anthem that brings 'Many Faces' to its sonic peak with heavy guitars, drums, bass, and
lyrics about surrounding power structures.
Music videos from the full visual album are now available.

The Messenger Birds
Electricity pulses through this band's unique sound, igniting rebellion in listeners the way rock music should. Hailing from Detroit, this duo carries the torch as the next experimental and magnetic two-piece band from the Motor City. With sonic inspiration from hard rock and blues, fused with otherworldly ambient and atmospheric sounds, these guys hold a mirror up to society while keeping you grooving.
Their debut album, Everything Has to Fall Apart Eventually, is stacked with rock bangers that will keep you on your toes with heavy fuzzy tones and crashing percussion. It's not all raucous though - they set the tone and build their musical universe with tracks that sound how you might feel.
Their record from this past fall, Tragic Comedy, takes a similar approach with distorted guitars and banging drums, but looks upon the past few years with reflective nuance. The Messenger Birds get more atmospheric, but also heavier than their debut.
They also put on a hell of a live performance with looping and an assortment of effects. This music is not only well-written and produced - it makes a statement.
★: Play Dead (Just for Tonight), Self Destruct, Honest Lies, If No One's Going to Look My Way, Alone in the World, Fountain Dreams
