Saint Escape rises from the ashes with new single “Phoenix”
Dallas-based rock outfit Saint Escape is making a bold statement with their latest single, “Phoenix”. Produced and mixed by the acclaimed Joe Rickard, known for his work with Breaking Benjamin, Three Days Grace, and Saliva, the track is nothing short of an eruption, blending raw energy with an unapologetic message of self-liberation. “Phoenix” grabs you by the collar. It’s a rallying cry for anyone who has ever felt constrained by societal expectations or dismissed for being different.
The song channels the frustration of being forced into someone else’s definition of “normal” while simultaneously delivering a sense of hope, courage to speak up, to break free, and to find solidarity in those who understand. Frontman Matt Cox, formerly of Mothergoat and Wandermine, leads Saint Escape with a voice that is both commanding and vulnerable. His delivery carries the weight of someone who’s lived through the struggle of staying true to oneself, yet finds power in transformation. Cox’s presence ensures that “Phoenix” is an experience you feel. Joe Rickard’s production elevates the song to a scale, with each guitar punch and drum hit meticulously crafted to hit hard while leaving room for the emotion to breathe.
The track strikes a balance between fury and melody, demonstrating that rebellion and hope can coexist in perfect harmony. “Phoenix” is a reminder that even when we feel overlooked or suppressed, the courage to be ourselves can ignite a fire that others will rally around. Saint Escape offers a lifeline for anyone who has ever felt trapped by someone else’s expectations. For fans of bold, unapologetic rock with a heart and soul, “Phoenix” positions Saint Escape as a band to watch. This is a track for the defiant, the overlooked, and the brave.

Loris Tils brings funk energy to life with “IKKI”
Loris Tils comes out swinging with “IKKI,” a single that comes with energy and musicianship right from the opening note. Borne on the unmistakable thump of Minneapolis Funk, the song surges forward with a groove that feels impressively designed and still wildly alive.
“IKKI” is a naughty conversation between slap bass and guitar, and the two instruments impressively craft around each other with both precision and flair, building a high-octane rhythm section that feels as tight as it is explosive.
The magic of “IKKI” is this tension, relentless discipline balanced by acrobats of daring improvisation. The energy never overwhelms the groove. Instead, it expands on it, making this song a celebration of rhythm, creativity, and instrumental chemistry.

Glass Mansions turn a possible goodbye into “SUNSETTING”
Glass Mansions return with “SUNSETTING,” a new single that came together during some uncertain times for the project. What began as a mini farewell to music turned out to be among the band’s most authentic and openhearted efforts yet.
The back story of the song’s creation feels almost cinematic. The day the decision was made to quit music altogether, a message came through from some big-time music executive who had heard about the band’s first Ep and wanted to collaborate. The band had agreed to share unreleased demos on request, though they hadn’t prepared any. That urgency caused a combustion of creativity that would shape the song’s trajectory.
“SUNSETTING” was written, tracked, and recorded in a home studio with scratch vocals in roughly two hours. What could have been a thrown-together demo became a surprise breakthrough. Confronted with the prospect of delivering just one last song, the writing became rather reflective, what would you say if it were your final creative curtain call.
“SUNSETTING,” produced by Zack Odom and Kenneth Mount alongside Orb Studios’ Taylor Webb, captures the urgency of its origin story but colors it with a new reflective emotional depth. The upshot is a song that feels at once improvisational and profound, an affirmation that, sometimes, when we think we’re reaching the end of something, it’s actually only setting in motion the most powerful of new starts.
