Courtney Phenicie's Profile

With influences that read like a history lesson on punk rock – from the melodic precision of second wave bands like NOFX and Bad Religion, the blues-infused anthems of punk pioneers Johnny Thunders and The Ramones, all the way back to the Father of Rock N’ Roll, Chuck Berry – The Pistol Mystics blur the line between rock and punk. Their debut EP, aptly named Ammunition, just had its digital release!

Rosewood Coast released their very first single, “With You” last month. If this is any indication of what is to come, I am excited. They have a polished sound. Kaitlynn Mcnutt’s voice is timeless. “With You” is a dreamy, classic song that will be immediately added to your everyday playlists.
