12/17/24 | [dcraley]Mammoth Caravan Signs to Blade Setter Records
Little Rock's doom trio MAMMOTH CARAVAN has inked a deal with Arkansas-based record label Blade Setter Records. The pair will work together to release the band's upcoming LP, which was recently recorded at Wolfman Studios in their hometown.
Brandon Ringo (bass/vocals) comments, “After the record was finished with mastering, we knew we wanted to work with a label, but we knew that it needed to be the right one. After meeting Kelley and seeing how passionate he is about the process and about our music, it just seemed like a natural partnership. After a few conversations about details of the release, we decided to sign with Blade Setter and we couldn’t be happier about the future for both the band and label.”
Blade Setter Records' Kelley Struble adds, "MAMMOTH CARAVAN came to my attention through Robert, the guitarist for the band. We met as collectors online and later met at a fest. The band formed through various key meetings and has since poured consistent effort into their time together. I felt the urge to step in because of their drive. Having worked with other bands in different circumstances, this is the only one to willingly take on the same amount of risk for what they want to do. They would never ask for a handout and that's a big reason why they fit here. Not to mention they do what they truly want to do and that can't be said for most bands.”
“This album was all about taking risks. In the previous lineup, everyone saw me as a drummer even though on the off-stage side, I had so much to writing the guitar parts to the first LP and EP, so this was a chance to take a risk and show a new side of MC that we aren’t just a beat down doom band and that we have the ability to grow and showcase new styles and flares. In this new journey, we are able to amp the energy up and also highlight the newest member of our band, Khetner Howton. Signing with BSR was a very easy decision. I have known Kelley for years and with his drive and passion for underground music and the presentation of it, I knew there was no one better to work with the vision of this album. LP#2 is a labor of love and we made sure to have some of the best people on board.” Guitarist Robert Warner said.
