Randy “The Arsonist” Cooper is back. The former founding member of Texas Hippie Coalition returns to red dirt metal with a southern hybrid mix of Motley Crue meets Pantera. Victory Season’s bone-breaking father/son, bass & drums section are a force to be reckoned with, lighting the way for our warriors to be victorious. Ash’s melodic and demonic vocals are often said to mimic some of the greatest vocalists in music.
D.Conn, invited Gary Jefferies to RefraZe Studios to check out what we had going on. That’s when the magic happened. After we wrapped up, we took this picture. From left to right, Randy Cooper, Ron Pease, Ash Starr D. Conn, Tim Root, T. Conn, and Gary Jefferies.
Victory Season is:
Randy Cooper – Guitars
Aaron “ASH” Starr – Vocals

Solitude In Apathy – The Other
“The Other”, the first Solitude in Apathy single taken off their debut EP, was recorded at Vipchoyo Sound Factory studios with Giacomo Salzano of italogaze starwarts Stella Diana.
The song, composed spontaneously during a rehearsal, is built around a single sentence (“In the other, try to see”) and is about the will to understand the other or simply oneself, reaching its epilogue with the inability to truly do it; the same themes underpin the fascinating video directed by Gaetano Massa.
Solitude In Apathy are Santina Vasaturo (vocals, bass), Gennaro Cristiano (guitar) and Diego Niola (drums); the band was formed in Naples in 2016.
Their influences range from shoegaze to darkwave and alternative rock, with a hint of gothic. They have supported bands like Stella Diana and Rome in Monochrome; their debut EP is due out later this year.

Dar.Ra – Rock Steady
Dar.Ra scores cinematic gold in this first-person hyperactive sonic blitz of a video for his new track titled ‘Rock Steady’. The track itself is something that must be listened to. Again and again. The adrenalin in the hook is like a drug that will keep you up for days. The video, however, adds layers to each beat in such a unique way as to make you wish this was a full movie. Think ‘Hardcore Henry‘ vs #indie gold. Pure genius!
