Tell me more about Adrian Niles!

Adrian Niles is an expressive musician, an earnest songwriter, and a self-conscious soul singer. Niles fuses the raw passion of his blues and the inherent subtlety of his folk tradition with the force and swagger of Rock and Roll.

And who are Bonnie & the Mere Mortals, again?

Blending Appalachian folk with goth genres, Bonnie and the Mere Mortals uses a juxtaposition of analog and digital to show that the stories aren't so different. Destin LeCornu, Mike Simms, Sam Phillips, and Bonnie Ramone seek to create something different, yet familiar.

Bonnie Ramone is an artist and musician bred from a mix of Merle Haggard and Robert Smith. She sprouted from rural Pennsyltucky on a small farm that took far too long to gain internet access. While her other projects have all been metal music, Bonnie & the Mere Mortals is a return to values and stories that were previously abandoned with a new perspective. Heartbreak, drugs, murder ballads, depression, love, big hair, the color black--the stories stay the same. This is an exploration of those stories and a homecoming.
