about

The pandemic-induced entertainment halt of 2020 forced the band to reflect and refocus their musical efforts. With the core foundation of prolific singer/songwriter/rhythm guitarist Erik Kjelland, Nick Fry on bass, and Paul Metz on drums, The Mascot Theory used this time off to add lead guitarist Cory Swadley to the band, who brings a strong musical swagger and reverence to the guitar gods of the past. The new album leans heavily into Rock & Roll-inspired grooves and mannerisms. Shortly after returning from the Sonic Ranch session, the band added keyboardist/guitarist/vocalist Brandon Jensen to round out the live sound, bringing his own flare to the group as well as covering Manning's keys/organ parts that are scattered throughout the new album. In April 2022, the band worked with famed producer Terry Manning (Led Zeppelin, ZZ Top, Shakira, Lenny Kravitz, Stax Records) at Sonic Ranch Studios near El Paso, TX and recorded 13 new songs as well as 2 updated versions of classic live show staple songs to record songs for the upcoming "Every Sign Of Life" album.

about

The Mascot Theory Madison, Wisconsin

The Mascot Theory sound has roots in the Americana genre, but the new album leans heavily into classic rock influences; harmonies that bring to mind the Eagles or America, a bit of that Rolling Stones guitar swagger, a little ZZ Top blues rock, a dash of the Pink Floyd mood, but never straying far from the core of the Tom Petty/Beatles/Poco-​e​sque importance of solid melody and lyrics. ... more
