I hope to locate a destination…

Penny Fountain, an independent band from Tampa, FL, has been breaking genre boundaries since its formation in 2018. Their music is a vibrant blend of alternative, hard, and modern rock, enriched with touches of pop punk and emo. The lyrics are layered and meaningful, allowing listeners to connect with them in their own personal ways. 

While their sound draws comparisons to bands like Smashing Pumpkins, Teenage Wrist, and My Chemical Romance, Penny Fountain maintains a distinct identity all its own. Their debut EP, ATTACK OF THE DUCKS (2024), includes standout tracks such as “BRAINZ!!!,” “PONCHO,” and “GOTH GIRL,” and swiftly gained popularity in the Florida music scene.

During a recent transformative period, the band experienced a shift in its lineup, losing some original members while welcoming fresh talent. This transition allowed for a blend of established influences and new perspectives, ultimately enriching their sound and creative direction. The band is currently crafting new music for their upcoming album while continuing to push genre boundaries with their unique sound. 

Led by Xavier Wilkinson (vocals/ bass) with Nick Allison (guitar) and Justin Galler (drums), Penny Fountain delivers electrifying live shows that you won't forget. The band just dropped their latest single, "Euphoria." Check it out now on all streaming platforms, and watch the official music ?video on YouTube.

I’m always asking questions.  The fun begins when you start researching for answers.

Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductees and “British Invasion” pioneers, The Zombies, today
announce the release of Odessey & Oracle Mono Remastered on September 26th. The album, the
first of four definitive physical reissues from their catalog, includes the classic songs “Time Of
The Season,” “Care of Cell 44,” and “This Will Be Our Year” and is a regular entry in “Best
Albums of All Time” lists in publications like Rolling Stone, NME, and Mojo Magazine. The
release, which coincides with The Zombies’ documentary, Hung Up On A Dream, marks the first
time the band's original mono mix, remastered from studio tapes, has appeared on LP since the
record's British issue in 1968, presenting the album as they originally intended it to be heard.
Pre-order the album on all formats here.
Recorded primarily at London’s legendary Abbey Road Studios in 1967, Odessey & Oracle was
self-produced in Mono on a shoestring budget by primary songwriters Rod Argent (keyboards/
vocals) and Chris White (bass/vocals). Under last-minute pressure from their record label, the
album was hastily remixed in the newly emerging Stereo format, which sacrificed key elements
from the Mono recording, most notably the beloved horn parts in “This Will Be Our Year”.The band today also share the first track off the album, the mono remastered version of “This
Will Be Our Year”, with the horn parts restored. Although never released as a single, this deep
cut has found a new life thanks to prominent uses in TV and film, including memorable scenes in
Mad Men, The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, and Schitt's Creek, and covers by artists like Foo
Fighters, OK Go and Susanna Hoffs. Its positive and uplifting message has been embraced by
couples as a popular wedding song, and become a staple of New Year’s playlists. Listen here.
The album also includes new liner notes from famed writer, David Fricke. Read an excerpt
below:
Odessey and Oracle is very much of and about its time: songs of youth and love – the
lucky strike of attraction ("I Want Her She Wants Me"); flickering memories held tight
("Brief Candles"); longing that defies the odds ("Maybe After He's Gone") – from pop's
high season of amour, a crowded nirvana of landmark debuts (Pink Floyd, the Doors, the
Jimi Hendrix Experience) and definitive accounts of Britain's psychedelic bloom…This
album was also built to stand the test of time, at the 11th hour by a band with everything
to prove. "We were always dissatisfied with the production of our records," Argent said in
1971 of the Zombies' Decca work. "We wanted to produce an album before we broke up
to satisfy ourselves." The result was a fearlessness that still rings fresh, that invention
driven by the Zombies' stringent resources and their confidence in the songs. Most of "A
Rose for Emily" is simply piano and vocal, an Argent-Blunstone duet with streaks of
choral sigh.

"Ally Walker’s thriller, The Light Runner captivated me from start to finish. The imagery is vivid and other-worldly and the storytelling is done in a way that made it impossible to put down. The characters are unique and compelling and made the whole ride fun." – Katey Sagal, Actress
Things aren’t as they appear to be at Bainbridge Psychiatric Hospital. Decorated war hero and politician Captain Oliver Haskell has voluntarily committed himself following the murder of his wife, scientist Hannah Haskell, in the parking lot of her workplace, Wellglad Pharmaceuticals. His case is assigned to Dr. Ella Kramer, a young psychiatrist just out of her residency with a troubled past of her own. After interviewing the captain, Ella starts to listen to her other patients at Bainbridge, who seem to be operating in another reality altogether. But it is when their reality bleeds into Captain Haskell’s that Ella is forced to choose between the two worlds and learns to trust her gut about what really happened to Hannah Haskell that night. Detective Paul Moran who is investigating the murder smells a rat—or, perhaps, in this case, a rabbit—as he attempts to unravel what has taken place and its strange connection to the hospital’s patients.The Light Runner, the first installment in The Realities Series from debut author Ally Walker, is an edge-of-your-seat metaphysical thriller that will mesmerize and haunt you from the first page to its shocking end.
