Roxercat shares new music video

Roxercat, the progressive rock band hailing from Nashville, Tennessee, has just released their debut six-track EP Pearls, and we’re stoked to share our thoughts on their new single and music video for “2020”. The band is made up of singer and songwriter Price Jones, guitarist Stan Lassiter, and bassist Bill Francis, with various guest musicians appearing on the recordings. Roxercat’s sound features the imaginative storytelling and stellar musicianship expected from such a seasoned group of Nashville creatives.

“2020” is the band’s musical depiction of the year 2020, which started off great with high hopes and quickly descended into an unprecedented time of chaos due to the pandemic. The song is primarily instrumental, taking the listener on an emotional journey of uncertainty. It’s a diary of sorts for Price Jones, detailing the ups and downs of the year.

The video for the song, created by AI artist iastitraia, is a visual interpretation of the track, worked on for a solid month and countless renderings until they had the perfect accompaniment, resulting in a kaleidoscopic animated visual journey to perfectly pair with the music.

Price Jones’s gift for storytelling and composition shines through on “2020”, and the musicianship of the band is top-notch, with each member contributing their own unique talents to the sound. Stan Lassiter’s guitar work is particularly noteworthy, adding layers of complexity and depth to the tracks. Bill Francis’s bass provides a solid foundation for the songs, while Price Jones’s vocals are powerful and emotive.

Recorded at Nashville’s Sound Emporium Studios with overdubs at Cat Tracks Studio, the single was co-produced by Price Jones and Grammy award-winning engineer and producer Clarke Schleicher. The production is crisp and polished, allowing each instrument to shine through in the mix. The sound is classic rock n roll, but with a modern twist that keeps it fresh and exciting.

Overall, Roxercat’s EP Pearls is a triumph, showcasing the talents of a group of seasoned musicians who know how to craft a great rock song. The EP’s closing track “2020” is a standout song, perfectly capturing the emotions of a year that was challenging for many of us via an epic rock music odyssey.

The music video is a perfect visual accompaniment, adding another layer of meaning to the song and showcasing the band’s innovative approach to delivering their creative vision. If you’re a fan of classic rock with a modern twist, you won’t be disappointed with “2020”. Roxercat is a band to watch in the coming years, and we can’t wait to see what they come up with next.
