Produced largely by Trent Willmon, the record blends fiddle, pedal steel, and honky-tonk influences rooted in Texas and California country traditions. The project reflects both the band’s travels and their personal evolution. “We’ve gone so many places and done so many things,” said bassist and vocalist Cameron Duddy. “I think we got to that place in the road where we wanted to pull it all together. The title is really a tribute to all the places where we’ve made our stand, but it’s also about all the phases and stages we’ve been through to get here.” Frontman Mark Wystrach has described the album as a deeper exploration of the band’s influences, capturing the spirit of dancehall staples and life on the road. From iconic venues like Gruene Hall to Broken Spoke, the songs reflect the places and experiences that have shaped their sound. Alongside original material, Stages features a rendition of “Drinkin’ Dark Whiskey,” written by Chris Stapleton and previously recorded by The SteelDrivers and Gary Allan.  Frontman Mark Wystrach shared that “‘Drinkin’ Dark Whiskey’ is a seminal honky tonk up tempo classic that Stapleton wrote and fine artists like Gary Allan and The SteelDrivers have cut and performed.

Jesse and Noah release their sixth album, The Sunshine Shop, today through Usonia Records, distributed by Select-O-Hits, alongside the focus track “Lina Rose” and its accompanying video. The 11-song project has already produced four singles and videos: “I Told A Lie,” “Loving This Night,” “Old Cowboys” featuring Riders in the Sky, and “On Again, Off Again” with Tess Frizzell. The album also marks the duo’s first collaborations with outside artists. Riders in the Sky brought the western harmony needed for “Old Cowboys,” while Tess Frizzell joined the pair on “On Again, Off Again.” “It was just a natural with ‘Old Cowboys’ and ‘On Again, Off Again’,” shares Noah. “We knew we needed the western harmony to get the traditional sound with ‘Old Cowboys,’ and it was a natural to invite Tess to sing with us for “On Again, Off Again,” because her mother (Shelly West) and grandmother (Dottie West) were known for the duets they did throughout their careers.” Jesse and Noah wrote or co-wrote most of the album, with the exception of two carefully chosen covers: Rodney Crowell’s “Shame on the Moon,” made famous by Bob Seger, and “Me & Magdalena” from the Monkees’ final studio album. Rooted in the influences passed down from their father, David Bellamy,  their uncle, Howard Bellamy of the Bellamy Brothers, and their grandparents, the album blends a variety of genres.

Back as abrasive as ever, Nick Moon returns screaming with his latest post-punk single, “Bonfire City,” off his upcoming record, Who is the Bone Man. Moon’s newest track oozes further into his punk influences, whining and waning throughout the 4-minute 18-second fever dream. “Bonfire City” is out now and available to stream on all major streaming platforms. Standing out above the illusive modge-podge of production, kitschy adlibs, and bombastic vocalizations by Nick Moon is the parallel play between the guitar and the bass. Dancing together in a twisted, ominously sensual string battle, they work together to keep “Bonfire City” grounded amidst Moon’s vocalized insecurities and turmoil. The song takes the audience on a frenzied, sleazy journey, featuring chewy Sonic Youth-esque cacophony that can steal any show. “Bonfire City” is exponentially more experimental than Moon’s previous release, “Setting Sun,” but it features the budding hallmarks of his artistry: obnoxiously absurdist lyricism, lawless guitar solos, and an indisputable lacing of irony and satire. “Sometimes this song frightens me because I feel like I haven’t written a better one since,” Moon explains. “It’s my favorite to play live because it’s so catchy and chaotic all at once.” The track is deceptively vulnerable in its paranoia, disguised by its groovy undercurrent and seemingly nonsensical wordplay.
