Boys & Girls earned the band multiple GRAMMY nominations and was hailed as one of the year’s best albums by numerous publications\, including Rolling Stone\, which also named lead single “Hold On” the #1 Best Song of 2012. Soon after its release\, the bandmates found themselves thrust into the global spotlight\, achieving such milestones as performing at the White House and on “Saturday Night Live.” \n\n\n\nThe band’s legacy continued to grow with the groundbreaking Sound & Color (ATO Records). Released 10 years ago\, the album debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200\, won GRAMMY Awards for Best Alternative Music Album and Best Engineered Album\, Non Classical. The first single\, “Don’t Wanna Fight\,” took honors in the Best Rock Performance and Best Rock Song categories. Sound & Color marked a profound evolution from Alabama Shakes’ debut album\, as The New York Times Magazine observed\, heralding the band’s “soul-stirring\, shape-shifting new sound.” Both Sound & Color and Boys & Girls were certified Platinum by the RIAA. \n\n\n\nThe Shakes’ Cockrell\, Fogg\, & Howard have also reunited in the studio promising new music to fans who have been eagerly awaiting their return. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout Y La BambaTo declare one thematic narrative from Lucha\, Y La Bamba’s seventh album\, would be to chisel away a story within a story within a story into the illusion of something singular. \n\n\n\n“Lucha is a symbol of how hard it is for me to tackle healing\, live life\, and be present\,” Luz Elena Mendoza Ramos\, lead vocalist and producer of Y La Bamba\, says of the title behind the album which translates from Spanish to English as ‘fight’ and is also a nickname for Luz\, which means light. The album explores multiplicity—love\, queerness\, Mexican American and Chicanx identity\, family\, intimacy\, yearning\, loneliness—and chronicles a period of struggle and growth for Mendoza Ramos as a person and artist. \n\n\n\nLucha was born out of isolation at the advent of COVID-19 lockdowns\, beginning with a cover of Hank Williams’ “I’m So Lonesome I Could Cry\,” and following Mendoza Ramos as she moved from Portland\, Oregon to Mexico City\, returning to her parents’ home country while revisiting a lineage marred by violence and silence\, and simultaneously reaching towards deeper relationships with loved ones and herself. The album reflects “another tier of facing vulnerability\,” as Mendoza Ramos explains\, and is a battle cry to fight in order to be seen and to be accepted\, if not celebrated\, in every form—anger and compassion\, externally and internally\, individually and societally. As much as la lucha is about inner work\, fighting is borne from survival stemming from social structures designed to uplift dominant groups at the hands of suffering amongst the marginalized. \n\n\n\nWhile peeling back layers of the past to better understand the present has been integral to this period of growth for Mendoza Ramos\, time\, trauma\, and history can feel like interconnected\, abysmal loops and music has remained a trusted space for Mendoza Ramos to process\, experiment\, and channel her learnings into a creative practice. In this way\, Lucha has become cyclical\, documenting the parallel trust Mendoza Ramos has built with herself to allow the songs to guide how they should be sung\, or even sound. \n\n\n\n“I’ve been wanting to let whatever feels natural—with rhythm and musical instruments like congas and singing—to just let it be\, in the way that I’m trying to invoke in myself.” Lucha reflects on\, “the continuing process of learning how to exercise my producing skills\,” explains Mendoza Ramos. “I have so many words\, ideas to work with all the time\, and the hardest part for me has been learning to trust my gut. And figuring out how I work best\, and with who.” \n\n\n\nThe result is a collection as sonically sprawling and bold as its subject matter. On “La Lluvia de Guadalajara\,” Y La Bamba leans into a minimal\, avant-garde soundscape as Mendoza Ramos recites a spoken word poem. Later\, rhythms veer into bossa nova territory on “Hues ft. Devendra Banhart\,” a full-circle collaboration for Mendoza Ramos as she reminisces on the significance of finding Banhart’s work nearly two decades earlier: “He was the first young Spanish-speaking musician that wasn’t playing traditional Mexican music I heard when I was 21. There was nothing like it around that time.” \n\n\n\n“Nunca” is a warm\, wind-rich track dedicated to her mother\, Maria Elena Ramos whose poetry is published alongside the Lucha lyrics booklet. “I decided to put my mom’s poem\, which is a poem that she wrote to me\, letting me know how she felt\, exploring her heart in new ways she’s never imagined. Sharing it on the record is me paying attention that she’s expressing herself.” \n\n\n\nWhile each song holds personal significance to Mendoza Ramos\, part of growing into her identity as an artist has been allowing space for protection and boundaries\, and choosing to withhold some of that meaning from the public. Lucha is her own story of the complexity of trauma and nonlinear healing and growth processes\, but she imagines it is also the continuation of her ancestors’ stories and might also be a mirror to the story of others. “Even though I’m trying to fight\, I never want to demonize suffering\, because that’s part of growing. And it’s hard\, because we’re living in times where that [stigma] is what’s happening. So if this—me talking about my mental health and finding healing in my queerness—is a risk\, I hope that I find a community that protects it and protects me\, because they know I have their back. I am also trying to be my mom’s community.”

Now boasting over 2 billion global streams across platforms\, the band first began building their devoted fanbase with independent albums SEVEN + MARY(2013) and RKS (2015). In May 2024\, Rainbow Kitten Surprise released their first album in six years\, LOVE HATE MUSIC BOX. Produced by Daniel Tashian (Kacey Musgraves) along with Konrad Snyder (Noah Kahan) and lead singer Ela Melo\, the record is the band’s most vulnerable project yet\, and has been met with critical praise from Billboard\, Consequence\, Paste\, and more. LOVE HATE MUSIC BOX follows the band’s breakout full-length debut for Elektra\, HOW TO: FRIEND\, LOVE\, FREEFALL\, which arrived in April 2018. Produced by GRAMMY® Award-winner Jay Joyce (Cage The Elephant\, Lainey Wilson)\, the album featured RIAA-certified Platinum single “It’s Called: Freefall\,” earned widespread praise from Billboard\, TIME\, Vice\, and NPR\, and saw the band make several national television appearances\, including performances on “CBS Saturday Morning\,” “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert\,” and PBS’s “Austin City Limits.” After gracing the bills of Bonnaroo\, Lollapalooza\, and Osheaga\, to name a few\, RKS moved 80\,000 tickets of their own on the sold-out 2018/2019 Friend\, Love\, Freefall Tour. \n\n\n\nFollowing a sold-out run of underplay shows in May\, Rainbow Kitten Surprise returned to the road this fall for the LOVE HATE MUSIC BOX Tour\, which notably marked their largest tour to date. The 35-show run included multiple arena headline dates\, a stop at Radio City Music Hall in New York\, and two nights at the iconic Hollywood Palladium in Los Angeles. \n\n\n\nRainbow Kitten Surprise is: Ela Melo (lead vocals)\, Darrick “Bozzy” Keller (guitar\, vocals)\, Ethan Goodpaster (lead guitar\, vocals)\, Jess Haney (drums). \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout Medium Build \n\n\n\nAs a musician with a nomadic lifestyle\, Nick Carpenter often enters spaces as a stranger and leaves with lifelong friends. The creator of Medium Build possesses a connective charisma that shows in his songs and performances—which can seem like equal parts concerts\, testimony\, and stand-up comedy. That gift and yearning for connection has been amplified during a transformative season for Nick. In 2023\, Medium Build signed with slowplay / Island Records\, toured with Lewis Capaldi\, and reached the Billboard charts for the first time collaborating with X Ambassadors. Life was pulling Carpenter away from his home\, dog\, and sense of belonging in Anchorage to Nashville. Nick spent his drives looking\, listening\, and reflecting. This inner and outer journey led to Country\, the thematic album draws from Carpenter’s roots as much as it considers his future—while exploring genre. His music is as vast and unique as his backstory\, but “if you slow all of my songs down\, they’re just three-cord bummer Country tunes\,” he admits. Evident in the video single “Cutting Thru The Country\,” this collection packs for a trip that explores wide open spaces\, musical frontiers\, and oneself.Medium Build began as the name Nick Carpenter attached to four-track recordings a decade ago. The storyteller applied aspects of a middle-class church-going Georgia childhood and a Tennessee education to truths learned along the way—ultimately delivering the queer extrovert to find a community in Alaska. There is duality and dichotomy in Medium Build’s life and music—but it is drenched in authenticity. The music has endured\, resonated\, and connected with a growing base. “Now I’m realizing that my career can last longer than five seconds and I can kind of just breathe and show one thing at a time\,” Nick shares. His dynamic catalog mirrors the people who have shown up in his corner: Elton John\, Boygenius\, John Mayer\, and Noah Kahan\, to name a few. 2019’s somber and synth-tinged “Be Your Boy” and 2022’s therapeutic “Never Learned To Dance” are fan favorites amid the kaleidoscope of sounds and moods. Country seems much more focused\, even if birthed by uncertainty.Now in his thirties\, Nick says he only recently learned about his father’s poor rural South Carolina upbringing. As a result\, Country music was something Nick’s dad covered up—along with the poverty and corresponding shame of his past. “I had no sense of identity as far as place\,” the artist admits. Lately\, the father and son began talking about the past and sharing Country tunes—exchanging culture and heritage. As an understanding of his DNA developed\, perhaps the twang and American in Medium Build’s songs stood out. However\, his Country is something unsurprisingly personal. “It feels self-soothing\,” Nick says of the opener\, “Beach Chair\,” which is a love letter to self in a time of need. “Crying Over U” is deeply specific but conjures emotions in us all—when confronted by closure and what remains in the rearview.Written on the road\, Country was fittingly recorded on Nashville’s Music Row. Carpenter and creative partner Jake LiBassi\, aka Laiko\, embraced experimentation. “We made the album we wanted to make\,” he says joyfully and confidently. “It’s so easy to get back in touch with yourself if you can throw off the heavy cloak of duty and just do something that feels good.” At a time when people take the same photo a dozen times in search of a curated aesthetic\, Medium Build captures the snapshot. The lyrics and the spirit of Country embrace both wandering and wondering. “I want this to feel lived-in\,” Nick says. “It’s sort of me finding a defined place.”
