Mexico

Soul Ride

Energy-driven combinations of ska, reggae, funk, soul, jazz, and rock.

Formed in who-the-hell knows when, Slow/Soul Ride have grown from a quaint white redneck reggae group to full-blown rockers, funkers, soulers, and bowlers.

Once described as sounding like 'two elephants fucking,' A.B.A. realized they were on the right track...

Red Letter Agent

American/Brit Pop/Rock, intense, melodic, atmospheric

'In a city known primarily for it's prospering hip-hop and R&B scene,
Red Letter Agent could easily be the band that reminds the rest of
the country that Atlanta can produce amazing rock music as well.
REM did it in the 80's, the Black Crowes in the 90's, and Red Letter Agent
seem poised to do it now. Smart hooks, intelligent lyrics, and amazing
vocals set Red Letter Agent apart from your everyday rock band.
This is the band to watch...
