Shane McAnally Pursuing Dispute with ASCAP
Top Nashville songwriter, producer, and co-president of Sony’s Monument Records, Shane McAnally, is moving forward in his quest to right a wrong perpetrated by ASCAP, an organization entrusted with protecting songwriters. In 2016, Shane began his protest against ASCAP’s arbitrary decision to change their distribution methodology after he resigned from ASCAP. That post-departure decision deprived Shane of substantial monies owed to him – over $1,000,000 – for hit songs which ASCAP to continue to license to radio. Based on ASCAP’s draconian rules, writers who have an issue with ASCAP’s accountings are not able to audit or bring a claim in a proper court, instead claims must be brought in front of the self-selected Board of Review. Unable to obtain relief through the Board of Review process imposed by ASCAP on its members, McAnally is appealing to an arbitration panel in hopes of recovering the monies he has been deprived due to ASCAP’s discriminatory and retaliatory behavior. In doing so, McAnally hopes to prevent ASCAP from continuing to contort its rules to deprive other songwriters of their public performance royalties.

OF FEATHER AND BONE: “Resounding From The Depths” Playing At Revolver Magazine
OF FEATHER AND BONE declares with the new song, “A blend of chaotic blasts, unrelenting d-beat influence, and slow and somber cavernous aesthetic, ‘Resounding From The Depths’ is a showcase of the versatile elements we include in the writing style on this new record.”
Revolver offers in part, “The song kicks in with a thick layer of riffs that feels a lot closer to being attacked by hornets than it does listening to ‘music.’ There is subtlety at work to the band’s destruction, however, as the band melds in grooves and slow downs that keep one on their toes. It’s chaos, but carefully architect for maximum ruin.”
