Leading the EP is the cover of “I’m Always Chasing Rainbows” by Judy Garland.

Jeff Hodges’ latest release, “I Believe,” is a tender Americana and country-leaning ballad that embraces the simplicity, honesty, and emotional clarity of a warm and reflective space. The song feels timeless with a grounded authenticity built on influences that sound like Zach Bryan, Chris Stapleton, and Leon Bridges.

Jeff Hodges speaks in a natural, authentic voice. His tone is warm, measured, and full of feeling.

The song is about peace, gratitude, and finding meaning in the ordinary.

With “CLAIM IT ALL,” X-ANONYMOUS takes us on a dark journey through control, chaos, and rebirth

X-ANONYMOUS is back with a blistering new release, “CLAIM IT ALL,“ a hard rock and metalcore smackdown that takes intensity, emotion, and aggression and blasts them into a tightly controlled tempest of sound. It is a combination of guitar riffs, industrial textures, and unrelenting rhythmic drive.

It explodes, launching you into a fractured psychological space where the self is always challenged and reinvented. “CLAIM IT ALL” is about the struggle between self-control and external control. The song encapsulates the crushing burden of manipulation and coercion, creating a terrain in which the mind is a battleground. Every change appears to have a reason, mirroring a spiral into internal chaos and the attempt to slowly regain individual strength.

There’s an emotional undercurrent that suggests awakening, and it tempers the aggression of the instrumentation. It is as though a constant tug and pull exists between collapse and control, as if the track itself were trying to get away from its own limitations. X-ANONYMOUS’s powerful statement is bold, unfiltered, and unafraid to face the darkness to rise above it. “CLAIM IT ALL“ It’s a reminder of how identity always fights back when it’s repressed.
