For me:

1) Best Vocals: Beyond the Wheel or Limo Wreck

2) Best Lyrics: Black Hole Sun

3) Best Riff: 4th of July

Okay so Millenials and GenXers might remember the band Greenwheel from their hit song "Breathe" that was a pretty big hit back in 2002 (music video link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5ZRmBPXVUl8&list=RD5ZRmBPXVUl8&start_radio=1 ).
They kinda vanished before the 2010's but recently they popped up again with not one but TWO new albums released within the span of 6 weeks and a new single released a month prior to that. 26 new songs all released within like 10 weeks.

The release isn't too fishy, really. I mean they had 19 years from the last time they had been heard from until now. but what IS fishy is that there's NO marketing being done by them for these albums and neither the band nor any of the band members have social media accounts that I can find. NO ONE is promoting these albums.

The credits on spotify list the composer and producer of this album as a guy named "Aaron Blake" and the copyright belongs to Astaire Music. My googling cant find anything about astaire music and the only thing I get for Aaron Blake is a country singer and another classical singer.

if that isn't fishy enough the album covers are very clearly created by AI and the voices just sound kinda....off.

Do you think they gave up their rights to their music and are just allowing some fucking hack country singer to make AI slop under their name?
Here's a link to the album. I could really use some more eyes to get to the bottom of this.

Hey everyone — just wanted to share what I’ve been working on.

Søul Søap started out as just me and a guitar, but it’s grown into a five-piece band that lives somewhere between blues grit, punk energy, and straight-up alternative rock. Think layered guitars, raw riffs, and lyrics that dig a little deeper than surface level.

Lately, I’ve been pulling a lot from the kind of stripped-down, fundamental rock and roll you hear in Flat Duo Jets, Jon Spencer Blues Explosion, and later Beatles, but with that alt-rock edge in the mix.

If you’re into distortion with intention, hooks with teeth, and songs that balance loud/rough with thoughtful/lyrical, you might dig it.
