Ralo – “They Can’t Stop Us” ft. Gucci Mane
A high-pitched barker with the admiration of the Atlanta streets, Ralo has shared the studio with nearly everybody in the trap scene.

Ghastly Sound to Release Self-Titled Debut February 24
Burlington, VT true power trio GHASTLY SOUND has signed with heavy music indie Magnetic Eye Records. The bass-driven three-piece, which fuses 90’s-era noise rock dissonance and distortion with a nod to modern stoner, doom and cult rock, will release its self-titled debut EP on February 24.
Gritty, loud, unforgiving and uncompromising, GHASTLY SOUND formed around the foundation of TJ Maynard (bass) and Ryan Lewis (drums), childhood friends who began writing songs as a two-piece focused on guitarless “volume worship and a love for party riffs”. The band’s rolling, thunderous tones blended with a splash of groove attracted vocalist Tyler Gurwicz, whose presence provided equal amounts straightforward candor and raw power. Worshipping at the altar of volume, GHASTLY SOUND’s presence is as large as it is loud; sludgy bass riffs merge with spiraling time signatures and vocal hooks cut through the noise as burning screams interweave with dream-pop melodies. Drawing influence from contemporaries like Kylesa, Torche and Red Fang, as well as no wave pioneers such as Helmet and Unsane, GHASTLY SOUND aims to remind listeners of an era when both bands and people lived authentically.
