Ninth Key
Ninth Key is the collaborative project between platinum-certified songwriter, producer, and artist Joshua Landry (Lø Spirit) and acclaimed hip-hop artist Ekoh. Rooted in the emotional intensity of early-2000s nu metal and alternative rock, the duo reimagines the era’s unmistakable energy through a modern lens. Melding massive guitars, cinematic production, vulnerable lyricism, and hip-hop influences into a sound that feels both nostalgic and unmistakably current. Drawing inspiration from the records that defined a generation, Ninth Key captures the raw emotion, angst, and catharsis that made the genre timeless. Their music bridges the worlds of rock and hip-hop with soaring choruses, hard-hitting verses, and deeply personal storytelling that speaks to listeners navigating identity, loss, mental health, and resilience. At its core, Ninth Key leverages nostalgia as a reminder to reconnect with what matters most. In a world where algorithms shape identity and self worth, online personas now overshadow authentic human connection. The project challenges listeners and music culture itself to rediscover its roots and remind us of who we are beyond a screen. It’s a call to rediscover real relationships, real emotions, and embrace the imperfect moments that make us who we are.

Drawing inspiration mostly from literature, his songs read as dark poetry often telling stories of war, drugs, and nature’s battle with humanity.

A solo singer songwriter, devoted to the craft, refusing to leave anything unsaid.
Alex Cameron
I. In New York City on his thirteenth birthday, planes fell from the sky and crashed into the World Trade Center. This had nothing to do with Alex Cameron. He wasn’t there. He was in Australia. By the time the planes hit, it wasn’t even 9/11 anymore. It was 9/12. This has been the secret rhythm of his art. One day ahead of a most terrible, but inevitable truth. II. Alex Cameron’s new album is called “Late to Set.” “Late to Set” was born of 9 forgotten long form screenplays written between the year 2022 and 2025. Rejected by the studios, lost to the LA wildfires, the charred remains fragmented and saved in songs of deep confusion and regret. III. “Late to Set” is Al’s fifth album. Production credits include Mark Perkins, Zach Dawes and Maxim Ludwig among others. IV. Al once told me that a lie is never funny, but the truth is always funny. V. The album was completed on an avocado ranch in California after LA started burning in January 2025. VI. This is the world our fathers feared. “What a joy!” says Al. VII. The dissection of art is murder. Vivisection is the dissection of something while it’s still alive. You do that to something you don’t believe has a soul. VIII. REDACTED IX. Some lines, couplets and quatrains “I put on a tonne of weight/For a role I didn’t get/Aye/Now I’m always late for set” “You 3D print a guillotine/And then you tear the statue down” “Every puddle needs a drop of rain/Everybody needs a little pain” “I ordered a hooker to my home/And I yelled at my family/I have seen the childhood drain/From my own son’s face” “Jesus never had no doctor/He never had Covid-19/He never voted for Obama/And he never had no vaccine” “I’ve been selling your location for cash” “I am a violent man” X. I once read a book called Demonic Males: Apes and the Origins of Human Violence by Dale Peterson and Richard Wrangham. It’s about the differences between bonobos and chimpanzees. If you throw an empty cardboard box into a room full of bonobos, they’ll all fuck each other silly and generously share the box. If you throw that same box into a room full of chimps, they’ll kill and kill and kill until the last one gets the box. We share 99% of our DNA with both. Al once told me that a lie is never funny, but the truth is always funny.

Kash’d Out – The Mirage Tour
Florida-based reggae/rock band Kash’d Out has been hustling hard since day one. Formed when Greg Shields (lead vocals) and Jackson Hauserman (guitar) first met during a studio session, the band quickly found its sound. With the addition of Joey Brohawn on bass, Marshall Hearne on drums, and most recently A-Mac on keys, Kash’d Out’s clever lyrics, tasteful guitar riffs, and infectious grooves came to life. Their breakout caught the attention of Hawaiian legends Pepper, who signed them to LAW Records and released their debut full-length album, The Hookup. Before the album even dropped, the band hit the road with Pepper and Less Than Jake, launching them onto the Billboard Reggae Charts and into households across the country. Since then, Kash’d Out has become a relentless touring force, supporting genre staples like Collie Buddz, The Expendables, and Iration, while also headlining multiple national tours. Their most recent album, Butter (released on LAW Records), showcased the band’s musical growth and experimentation, further solidifying their reputation for crafting songs that blend catchy melodies with honest, introspective lyrics. Now signed to Ineffable Records, the band continues to evolve. Their latest single, “Mushroom Tea” featuring Little Stranger, dives into a playful, psychedelic groove—bringing together bounce, wit, and a touch of nostalgic stoner charm. It marks the beginning of an exciting new chapter as they gear up for their next full-length album, due out in 2026. With a packed touring schedule and a high-energy live show, Kash’d Out continues to bring their music to fans across the country—spreading good vibes and authentic connection at every stop.
Pigeons Playing Ping Pong
Few bands command a stage, or a crowd, quite like Baltimore’s Pigeons Playing Ping Pong. Driven by an infectious live energy and a relentless touring schedule spanning nearly two decades, the dynamic quintet—”Scrambled Greg” Ormont [vocals, guitar], Jeremy Schon [guitar, vocals], Ben Carrey [bass, vocals], Alex “Gator” Petropulos [drums, vocals], and new member Jon Brady [keys, vocals]—has built an undeniable reputation as one of the most electric live acts on the tour circuit today. To experience Pigeons Playing Ping Pong live is to step into a high-octane celebration powered by soaring jams, infectious funk, and the unmatched energy of their devoted fanbase, The Flock. Their signature dynamic psychedelic funk sound, a seamless fusion of soaring guitar solos, danceable grooves, explosive rhythms, and exploratory jamming, turns every show into a unified, high-voltage dance party. “Making music and connecting with people feels like something we were born to do,” explains Ormont. “We have an unwavering commitment to keep evolving together.” That evolution reached a major milestone when the band officially welcomed longtime collaborator Jon Brady as their newest official member. After enriching the group’s sonic textures with frequent guest appearances on stage and in the studio, Brady’s full integration was announced in unforgettable fashion via a surprise on-stage proposal during Domefest. The band’s annual music festival recently celebrated its biggest event yet at ACE Adventure Resort in New River Gorge, WV, showcasing a thriving, joyful community at its absolute peak. While recent releases like their eighth studio album, Feed The Fire, capture their sharpened musicianship, exploratory arrangements, and collaborative spirit, Pigeons Playing Ping Pong remain a force best experienced in the wild. Refreshingly dynamic, irresistibly danceable, and forever fueled by their road-tested chemistry, they continue to ignite crowds and push their sonic boundaries from coast to coast. As Ormont sums it up best, “We’ve been given the gift of this passion. So it’s our responsibility to nurture it, embrace it, and spread it wild. Because when the band and fans reach new heights together, that’s where the real magic happens.”
