Black Roses

Shannon Hudson

Black Roses is a driving, guitar-forward rock song with the energy of classic Petty and early Wilco. It opens with a gritty, distorted guitar riff and holds a steady mid-tempo groove, with a confident full-band sound: live drums, bass, layered electric guitars, and a lead vocal that's raw and conversational. It's urgent without being aggressive, and familiar without sounding like a throwback. Mood: Tense, determined, defiant, gritty, observational, moving forward. Best for: Opening scenes or cold opens that need to announce tone immediately Trailers and promos for dramas, thrillers, and character-driven series Montages of cities, streets, and people in motion Tension-building or turning-point moments, with lyrics that land like a warning Automotive, outdoor, workwear, and heritage-brand campaigns looking for authentic, human-made rock Documentary and news-style features about community, change, and resilience Sports and gritty lifestyle content Why it works: The guitar tone hits within the first 30 seconds, so it sets the mood quickly and cuts well to picture. The arrangement has clear sections and strong dynamics, making it easy to edit. Written, performed, recorded, and mastered by a real person, with no AI and no samples.

False Reality

Starts with an explosive riff that builds to a manic beat. Aggressive, fast, perfect for any clip that's referencing AI or an unreal view of the world ie. a False Reality. The music is very dynamic with so many pieces that could stand alone. The riffs are relentless!

Nine Lives

Nine Lives explores the many shades of the human psyche, inviting you to metamorphose into the most evolved version of yourself. An infectious yet reflective tune that seeks to penetrate your mind with its unavoidable vocal hooks and punchy instrumental ear worms.

Time (Instrumental)

A sweeping soundscape that moves from radiant sunbursts to brooding, distant storms. This aptly named track utilizes a rich tapestry of synths, percussive live drums, and intricate piano melodies to create a sense of constant forward motion. The "biting" guitar textures add a contemporary edge to the orchestral-pop feel, making it a perfect fit for high-stakes drama and visual narratives about the passage of time. Vibe: Wistful, optimistic, building, and cinematic. Instrumentation: Biting electric guitars, melodic piano, lush synth beds, and driving live percussion. Structure: Dynamic and evolving; transitions between light, airy sections and heavy, "thunderous" rhythmic peaks. Key Placements: TV drama, cinematic transitions, character-driven montages, and content exploring nostalgia or the future.

I have to eat - HOOK

Fits perfect to modern food delivery services such as "Just eat", "Uber eats" ect.

Change It!

This vintage soul influenced indie rock rebel yell is a call-to-arms for anyone feeling their full potential is yet to be realised. The gloves are off, the guards are down and the stop gates pulled open once and for all. So face your fomo and get in the ring.

Finish Line

An absolute powerhouse for sports highlights, racing footage, and fitness/training montages. It is perfectly suited for automotive commercials, video game soundtracks (especially racing or extreme sports), competitive reality TV, and introduction scenes for cocky, charismatic characters in films or series.
