We have recently found a deep rooted fascination with Roxercat, and covered their empowering and intricate debut single, Pearls, as well as their psychedelic and self-realized sophomore single, I Changed Today, so we were happy to hear that their sonic and visual journey was set to continue with the release of Crime!

Establishing the mood with a masterful guitar riff and slide, which takes us into an incredible electric guitar solo, Crime opens with the charming vocals of singer, Price Jones, as she shares metaphorical prose, and conscious words of wisdom.

Crime is taken from Roxercat‘s new six-song EP Pearls, and comes with a super psychedelic visual which is reminiscent of a DMT trip, albeit more high octane. We adore the colours, and how Price delivers a badass performance as she sings, “You give it all away…”

The band describes Crime as “a rocking plea for people to stop giving away their power to systems designed to distract, pacify, and influence”. They confess, “It’s a warning to take back control of our minds, beliefs, and thoughts. It’s too easy in a fast-paced, digital world to blindly believe what you may read or hear without question and allow others to dictate who you should love or hate.”

We deeply appreciate what Stan, Bill, and Price create with Roxercat, their authentic intention is tangible, and the art they are delivering is thought-provoking and profound.

Crime has been added to our New Music Spotlight playlist, whilst we continue to stream Roxercat‘s EP in full, and anticipate future releases from the visionary trio.

Establishing the mood with layered guitars and an immersive energy, Roxercat opens Pearls with the altruistic lyrics, “All I ever wanted was for you to be happy, all I ever really wanted was for you to be high…”

We are immediately drawn in by singer and guitarist Price Jones‘ charismatic vocal delivery, and the poetic nuance she shares with her empowering and affirming brand of storytelling. The song embodies Price’s worldview as a simple message that “no matter the current status of relationships with the people who come and go throughout your life, you can still wish them happiness”. She shares the wise words, “Life is about surrounding yourself with people that believe in you – and you in them – and always holding on to your dreams.”

The progressive rock band based in Nashville, Tennessee, also features guitar legend Stan Lassiter, and bassist Bill Francis. We learn that Pearls is Roxercat‘s debut single release from their upcoming EP of the same name, composed and arranged by Price Jones.

The EP was recorded at Sound Emporium Studios with overdubs at Cat Tracks Studio, co-produced by Price Jones and Grammy® award-winning engineer and producer Clarke Schleicher.

The opus comes with a cinematic performance video that showcases the three artists in their element. We appreciate the depth and passion that the trio share with their creation, and it is no surprise that Stan Lassiter is respected so highly, as his performance is simply out of this world!

Pearls has been added to our New Music Spotlight playlist, whilst we await further releases from Roxercat!
