Forged in the heart of Texas in 2015, FM Rodeo is a band that’s been on the rise in the rock and alternative music scene. With Troy Dry on vocals and guitar and Johnny Elrod on drums, this Austin-based band has a knack for blending rock, punk and alternative elements into a sound that’s gripping and memorable.
Their music shakes with a rebellious spirit, offering intense, high-octane tracks that have struck a chord audiences and secured their place in the Texas music scene. They first introduced their original sound with the debut single “Night Island” in 2021 and since then, they’ve been going from strength to strength with their studio releases and live shows.
Their tracks, like the fan-favourite “I Must Say,” have found a home on countless playlists, drawing in listeners with their raw energy. Their versatility as a band is also revealed in releases such as the “Pop Song (Electronic Dance Remix),” which features a collaboration with TRAP MASTERY. This ability to move fluidly between genres, while still maintaining their distinct sound, is what makes FM Rodeo such an exciting act in the musical sphere.
Their latest single, “Inhale,” is another powerful addition to their growing discography. Produced by Jon Norris, the lead vocalist for metalcore band Kingdom Collapse, “Inhale” is a track that’s designed to connect with those who’ve felt like outsiders, longing for a place to be. The song was recorded earlier this year and sees FM Rodeo channel their inspirations of Nirvana, Local H and Toadies into an epic alternative rock anthem.
“Inhale” revolves around the idea that volume and velocity are not the only ways to make an impact in music. Instead, FM Rodeo opts for a slow-burn approach, carefully layering tones and textures, sonic weight and musical power to create a track that’s as big as any rock anthem, but with a level of nuance and sophistication that makes it entirely unique. Setting an atmospheric vibe with the twang of guitar notes, the arrangement comes to life with the strike of drums and Troy’s rich vocal leads which thread smooth, yet commanding melodic lines above.
With the ebb and flow of the guitars accented by the rise and fall of the drums, the track builds to an explosive sound, erupting with storming guitar crunches and pounding drums, resulting in a rousing rock ride that swells to a sensational finale. It’s a superb showcase of their original songwriting and musicianship flair as FM Rodeo once again serve up a powerful modern rock experience that’s sure to thrill over existing fans and win over new listeners around the world.
