[Verse 1] 
They’re sellin’ stories, left and right
Spinnin’ headlines to spark a fight
Same old playbook, year after year
They cash in on anger, they cash in on fear 

[Chorus 1] 
Don’t let them fool ya
We’re stronger as one
Red, white, and blue, yeah
Under the same sun
They stir up division
While the profits unfold
Don’t let them fool ya
That’s how freedom is sold

[Verse 2]
Neighbor meets neighbor, and most folks agree
We all want safety, a life that is free
Those screens keep sayin’ we must choose a side
Turn off the noise, let truth be our guide

[Chorus 2] 
Don’t let them fool ya
We’re stronger as one
Red, white, and blue, yeah
Under the same sun
They frame us as rivals
While they watch it all roll
Don’t let them fool ya
That’s how freedom is sold
[instrumental solo]

 
[Bridge] 
The stars and stripes still wave on high
Under one banner, we can still reach the sky
The founders’ dreams are still alive today
Seeking the truth, we will find our way
Turn off the screen, break free of the trance
With a little compassion, we still stand a chance 

[instrumental solo]

[Verse 3]
While we’re workin’ and raisin’ our kids
They’re makin’ their money on political bids
While truth gets buried ‘neath the weight of their cash
Let’s take out the garbage and the political trash

[Chorus 3] 
Don’t let them fool ya
We’re stronger as one
Red, white, and blue, yeah
Under the same sun
Sellin’ fear for attention
Just to capture our eyes
Don’t let them fool ya
Learn to see through the lies

"Wanted Man" is a raw, emotional trap anthem about custody battles, betrayal, and trying to hold it together as a single dad in a world that keeps testing you. Blending heavy 808s with dark introspection, it’s a confession from a father caught between heartbreak, survival, and the streets.

Wanted Man

Punishment - Diabolic [Empyreann Remix]

A blue-collar rock anthem about factory life: metal clang, long shifts, and exhaustion. Steady driving rhythm and gritty electric guitars deliver the sound of steel, sweat, and survival in the working-class South.

This track is pure resilience. "This Side of the Dust" is a mid-tempo, powerful anthem about survival, acknowledging the mistakes ("the dust") but standing strong in the learning. It’s a testament to the fact that every scar is a lesson. The trio delivers a powerful, resolved harmony that turns hardship into empowerment.

This Side of the Dust

My neck is full of titanium. My pockets are empty. And the only thing keeping me standing is the ghost of my dog.

They call it "phantom limb syndrome"—when you can still feel a part of you that’s been cut away. I’m living with a cervical spinal fusion, waiting on a nerve ablation back in New York. I'm standing in Caesars, surrounded by noise and lights, but feeling completely alone except for the chosen family keeping me upright.
I went to the gift shop and saw these neon, melting statues of every other dog breed—but they didn't have a Schnauzer. They didn't have Oliver. So I used AI to manifest him. I forced the machine to create the ghost that I needed to see.
"Phantom Paws" was written on November 29, 2025. It is a Dark Swamp Blues track about the realization that when the world leaves a space empty, you have to fill it yourself.
This is for anyone holding themselves together with grit, memories, and metal.

Yeah...
I can still hear 'em.

I’m walking through Caesar’s on a spine made of rust
Pockets full of nothing, lungs full of dust
Titanium in the neck, fire in the nerve.
Life threw a pitch, and I couldn't hit the curve.
Waiting on the ablation, waiting for the shot
Feeling like a penny that the world forgot.

I’m broke at the table. I’m broken in the bone.
I’m surrounded by the lights But I’m standing here alone.

Then I saw you on the shelf, Oliver, my friend!
Melting like a candle burning at both ends!
The doctor says it's nerve damage, breaking all the laws
But I swear to God I feel the weight of Phantom Paws!
Yeah, walking down the hallway...
Just those Phantom Paws.

November 1st took the wind from my chest
I haven't found the money and I haven't found the rest.
The statue is dripping in a technicolor rain
It’s the only thing that’s brighter than the throbbing in my pain.
They say that you are gone, that the house is quiet now
But I hear the clicking on the floor, I hear the phantom "chow."

(Click, click, click, click) Can you hear him?
(Click, click, click, click) Walking on my spine.
(Click, click, click, click) One last time.
Color dripping down your face... I’m holding onto empty space!

You’re dripping in the spectrum, Oliver, you shine!
Technicolor memory, forever you are mine!
Not just grey and silver, not just shadow and bone
You are every single color that I have ever known!
I’m broken and I’m busted, fighting for a cause
Just to walk another mile with your Phantom Paws!

Watch my back, boy. I feel you there. Right on the nerve. Phantom Paws.

Jericho Records USA – The Story Behind the Sound

So, you’re here… and probably wondering what Jericho Records USA is. It’s not your typical record label. The original Jericho Records was an independent label my father started back in the 1950s — this one is something different. This is my life’s work. My story.

Every song you hear here was written or co-written by me. Music has been in my blood since the day I took my first breath. I grew up singing in church with my parents — my father led the music ministry, and my mother played piano. I picked up the drums at age 5, guitar by 7, then bass, saxophone in school band, and eventually piano.

I’ve been in multiple bands, written close to a thousand songs, and I plan to write at least a thousand more. I’m a graduate of Full Sail University with a degree in Audio Production, blending traditional recording with modern techniques.

I’m a man of many hats and many names — every project has its own sound, its own world, and its own voice. But no matter the name, it all comes from the same place: truth, passion, and purpose.

I’ve been blessed to work with incredible people along the way, including Dez Dickerson, the legendary guitarist for Prince and The Revolution, who recorded and produced one of my records, and Tim Gaines, bassist for Stryper, who also performed on that project. I’ve shared the stage with bands like Drivin’ N’ Cryin, Corey Taylor, Saving Abel, Hinder, Avenged Sevenfold, and many others.

Every song I create is born from something deeper — divine inspiration, lived experience, or imagination. I use a mix of real instruments, live performances, VSTs, and modern AI tools to bring each track to life.

Jericho Records USA isn’t just a label. It’s a journey. A sound. A story I’m still writing. I hope you’ll find something here that connects with your own.

Avant-garde/experimental producer and sometimes vocalist

Leo Roland is a South African singer-songwriter, producer, and storyteller whose music fuses raw emotion with cinematic power. As the creative heart behind LR Distribution Records, he delivers anthemic, soul-stirring songs that blend acoustic warmth with the intensity of rock — a style he calls acoustic metal.

His concept-driven albums, including Better Together, Flicker and Flame, and Phoenix, explore the full spectrum of human experience — from love and loss to faith, resilience, and rebirth. Each project forms part of a larger narrative arc, told through evocative lyrics, layered harmonies, and immersive soundscapes that capture the heart and imagination.

Produced and recorded under his own direction at LR Distribution Records, Leo collaborates with a network of gifted South African musicians to craft music that feels both deeply personal and universally relatable. His signature storytelling draws listeners into cinematic worlds where emotion meets melody, and every song tells a story that lingers long after the final note.

Beyond the studio, Leo lives a life of dual purpose — a “butcher by day, musician by night” — balancing his role as a business leader with his relentless pursuit of artistic expression. His journey is one of grit, gratitude, and growth, proving that true passion never fades — it only burns brighter with time.
