Fresh off their first US tour the alternative, LA based 4 piece known as Animal Sun have a lot to be thankful for. Their debut album ‘echoes of a dream’ reached over 5 million plays in just a few months after its release, with their lead single ‘girl in blue’ even earning a single deal with a division Universal Music Group. In tandem with their streaming success, Animal Sun also received support from major magazines such as Alt Press and Rock Sound, as well as renowned radio stations such as idobi and KROQ. Their hit 'girl in blue' even snagged the #5 spot on KROQ Locals Only, with their follow up single ‘touch’ placing at #2 for multiple weeks in a row. 
In terms of the band’s history, Animal Sun’s official line up was formed in 2019. Lead by brothers Steven Blake, (vocalist/songwriter), and drummer William Alton. The two cut their teeth playing small clubs throughout their native home in central Virginia before moving to LA. The name was in dedication to their late friend James Sun, who’s life was tragically cut short in 2011. By the time Animal Sun had made the move they had already begun growing a solid following while opening for noteworthy acts such as The Frights. It was here where they would meet keyboardist Tyler DeCastro, and bass player Adam Gardner. With their debut album now in the review mirror, Animal Sun is gearing up to release their sophomore effort. Their new era begins now with the release of ‘CHASING SHADOWS’ and a spring tour supporting Kelsy Karter.

Rock and roll; more emphasis on the roll.

For the better part of a decade, the eponymous songwriter found messages to put out. Utilizing the contributions of a revolving door of musical collaboration, the music became enlivened. Each member helps to fashion songs that evoke both a wildness in desire and nostalgia. What it creates is an outlet. Where distant memories and inspirations shape the present. Where the old generations of rock and roll are simply a jumping-off point into songwriting. Where pensive rhythms and swaying, foot-tapping melodies breathe once worn-out themes to new life.
 
There’s no such thing as a good or bad song. Music hits emotion or it doesn’t. The Mike Lynch Band makes good on this. As a Midwestern act from Carbondale, IL., now based out of Nashville, TN, they manage to relate a universal element through their airwaves. To shape songs that embody the errors and mistakes of experience. Music about love and inadequacy, hunger and guns. The Mike Lynch Band evokes the effect that collaborated life produces: honest and wild human emotion.

I write songs. I sing. I mostly play guitar and cello and piano. That's about it really :)
