We were drawn into the infectious appeal of Stickin Around, the new single from Raging Bunch. There’s a vintage authenticity to this inspired vocal performance. It’s a reflection of their soulful nature and vibrant presence. Gorgeously produced, Raging Bunch brings elements of classic rock into the indie Americana canon.
We hear remnants of Lone Russel or songs like the Doobie classic Black Water mixed with the modern indie influence of Delta Spirit and Lord Huron. It’s a dynamic blend altered further by the bands own signature touch. We love this song.

We adore the playful sentimental tribute Tommy Ashby wrote for his friend Sophie. This classic personified narrative lands relatable. Stylistically we hear the classic influence of CSNY combined with a modern indie folk sensibility familiar to The Lumineers.
If there’s a Sophie in your circle, she just caught herself an anthem. And even so, we’ll all have a joyful sing along song to celebrate our long lasting friendships. Sophie is eternal.
