[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

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

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.
