After a highly successful debut album that garnered over 100,000 downloads, Drunk Souls have returned with their follow up titled Revolution. The record is a sixteen song affair that attempts to build on the success of their first album. The message is still there while the hooks and emotion have only gotten better. From the new album comes the title track “Revolution”, which we’re pleased to present to you for free download.

Over the past 10 years since they formed, Can’t Hang have played all over the U.S.A., leaving behind them a trail of broken beer bottles, hangovers, broken hearts, and a solid fan-base in their wake. With a DIY attitude and no major label support, this Baltimore based quartet has toured the country numerous times, selling over…
Emerging onto the Southern California music scene with a sound as original as the band members themselves, the Dirty Heads’ blend of hip-hop and classic reggae rips through the sonic surf with bold beats, fun rhythms and the relaxed vibe of feel-good lyrics.
