Blues rockers Holy Roller Baby have crafted an album that embodies rock ‘n’ roll obsession. ‘Smile Like Heaven’ is a sonic journey through Jared Mullins’ imagination and from the first riff to the final note. This ten-track album dives into dark and eerie lyrical themes with religious undertones. Produced by Brit rock producer Ian Davenport (Radiohead, Band Of Skulls, Supergrass, Badly Drawn Boy), the band created an album that challenges, surprises and ultimately leaves you wanting more.

Jack M. Senff’s new album ‘Feeling & Devotion0n’ is a tranquil dive into the art of understated emotion, an album that drifts through your senses like a gentle summer breeze—warm, reflective, and subtly powerful.

The Northern Michigan singer-songwriter has developed a unique sound that perfectly blends old folk rock, country-western and 90’s adult alternative. A founding member of midwest screamo bands like Merchant Ships, William Bonney, Knola, Midwest Pen Pals, North Folk and Boy Rex, Jack’s solo work is quite a departure from this sound and has a more mellow acoustic singer-songwriter vibe. With three solo albums under his belt via the Skeletal Lightning Records family, Jack’s talent for writing honest and endearing lyrics shines through.
