Static Dreams

the smash

💥 Rage vs Reason 💥 – Step into the battlefield of the mind, where fury clashes with logic and every decision teeters on the edge of chaos 🌪️🔥. Powerful male vocals cut through heavy guitars and thunderous drums, carrying the weight of self-conflict, regret, and raw emotion 🎸🥁.

Feel the tension build, the inner storm that rages and falters, the moments where reason crumbles and anger takes control ⚡💔. A journey through frustration, self-reflection, and the struggle to stay grounded amid the turmoil.

"The Exodus" has arrived.

This is not just an album. This is a 14-track, cinematic metal manifesto.

This is the founding statement of VenoxX Productions.

"The Exodus" is the story of a rebellion—a movement built from the ground up to challenge a system built on silence. It's the sound of "Surge To Hope's" journey and "No Mercy's" grit, forged into a declaration of war. We are the underground, building our own world.

This is the sound of #creativefreedom.

To my followers here on SoundCloud: You are the heart of this movement. You've been here from day one, and you're the first to hear the full vision. Thank you for your support.

The "Exodus" is now live on all platforms. Join the uprising.

Locked and Loaded

“Get Right” is an intense, melodic punk rock track that channels conviction through catchy, hard-hitting hooks. The song confronts self-deception and pride with open honesty. It’s both a challenge and an invitation — turning personal struggle into an anthem of awakening. Driven by tight drums, roaring guitars, and a soaring vocal performance, “Get Right” captures that moment when the truth finally hits hard enough to change you.

On Our Way

Push Start Heartbreak is a full-blast pop-punk concept album from Driveway Ghosts, built from one insane night of teenage chaos, fear, and adrenaline.

It’s the story of three kids stealing a car, thinking they’re invincible…
and discovering how fast things can spiral out of control.

From pushing the car past glowing Christmas windows,
to meeting the wrong crowd at a school dance,
to being trapped with a knife at your throat,
to the final sunrise drive home —
this is suburban danger told through fast riffs, emotional choruses,
and the raw, reckless honesty of youth.

Every track is a chapter.
Every lyric is a memory you can’t outrun.
Every chorus hits like a heartbeat slamming in your chest.

If you grew up on Blink-182, Jimmy Eat World, The Starting Line,
Sum 41, or Yellowcard —
this album is your nostalgia and your nightmare rolled together.

Driveway Ghosts — Push Start Heartbreak
Turn it up.
Relive the night.
Feel the fear, the freedom, and the heartbreak of growing up too fast.

Jericho Records USA – The Story Behind the Sound

Welcome to Jericho Records USA.
This isn’t a traditional label — it’s the archive of a lifetime spent writing, recording, experimenting, breaking rules, and rebuilding myself through music.

The original Jericho Records was an independent label my father started in the 1950s. What you’re hearing here is something new — my continuation of that legacy, shaped by the times, the tools, and the life I’ve lived.

I grew up in a musical home. My father ran the church music ministry, my mother played piano, and I was singing before I could read. Drums at 5. Guitar at 7. Bass. Saxophone. Piano. Songwriting became the way I made sense of the world, and I’ve written close to a thousand songs — with thousands more to come. I later graduated from Full Sail University with a degree in Audio Production, blending old-school recording with modern technology.

You’ll notice the sounds here are diverse. That’s intentional.
I create under different artist names, different styles, different worlds — but the voice behind all of it is mine.

And to be fully transparent:

• Some tracks are traditional studio recordings — real drums, real guitars, real vocals, all performed by me.
• Some tracks blend live instruments, VSTs, and AI-assisted production.
• Some began as my raw guitar or vocal recording and were “covered” or re-interpreted through AI tools.
• Some are fully AI-generated compositions created from my prompts.
• But every song — no matter the method — was written by me and comes from real experiences, real chapters of my life.

AI, to me, is another instrument — another creative partner.
It doesn’t replace my voice or my story; it helps me bring more of it into the world.

Over the years I’ve worked with incredible people, including Dez Dickerson (Prince & The Revolution) and Tim Gaines (Stryper), and I’ve shared stages with bands like Drivin’ N’ Cryin, Corey Taylor, Saving Abel, Hinder, and Avenged Sevenfold. But the journey didn’t end there — it evolved.

Jericho Records USA is where all those chapters live at once:
the human hands, the digital experiments, the scars, the healing, the imagination, and the divine spark that keeps me creating.

If you’re here, I hope you find something that resonates — something that reminds you that music, in any form, is a lifeline.

— Jericho
