🎸 A Note to All Artists Submitting to Rock Sun Records 🎸

We’ve been getting a lot of amazing submissions lately — and we just want to say THANK YOU for wanting to be part of the Rock Sun family! ☀️

Our founder, Tom Hooks, personally listens to every single submission that comes through.
Because of that personal touch, it can sometimes take up to two weeks for us to get back to you.

(We know, we know — at least it only takes him two weeks to get back to you 😅).

Rest assured — if you’ve sent something in, we will get back to you. 🙌

We truly appreciate your patience and your passion for the music that drives us all. Keep creating, keep pushing, and thank you for believing in what we’re building here at Rock Sun Records. ❤️🔥

🚨 Artist Announcement 🚨

Rock Sun Records is beyond excited to welcome The Theos Variant to the family! 🔥

Fronted by vocalist Dan Lentz and multi-instrumentalist Geoff Haught, this powerhouse duo is redefining modern heavy music with a dynamic fusion of raw emotion, atmospheric depth, and uncompromising energy.

Their sound? As Rock Sun founder Tom Hooks puts it:

“Imagine if Breaking Benjamin had a love child with The 69 Eyes.”

With soaring vocals, crushing riffs, and cinematic layers, The Theos Variant seamlessly blends influences from alternative rock, metal, and post-grunge—carving out a sound that’s entirely their own.

On stage, they level up even further with Kevin Haught (bass) and Jason Hughes (drums) from Accuse the Villain, delivering a thunderous, unforgettable live performance that’s earned them the title of “rock’s best-kept secret that just broke out.”

And the industry’s already taken notice 👇
🏆 2024 Rising Star
🏆 2025 Best International Band
🏆 2024 International Songwriting Competition
🏆 2025 America’s Next Top Hitmaker
🏆 2025 Intercontinental Music Awards
🏆 Two 2025 World Entertainment Awards Nominations

The Theos Variant has quickly become one of rock’s most talked-about emerging acts — and the best is still ahead.

🎧 Starting tomorrow, The Theos Variant’s music returns to streaming on Rock Sun!
Kicking it off with “Beacons” and “Mechanical Organism,” available everywhere you stream.

Welcome to Rock Sun Records, gentlemen. 🤘

🎸 Merch Cuts – Let’s Talk About It 🎸

It’s time to call this out for what it is — not acceptable.

If a venue isn’t helping load merch in or out, isn’t providing a person to sell it, and isn’t covering any of the work or cost involved… then taking a percentage of that merch money is nothing short of stealing from the artist.

Bands live on the road, surviving off ticket sales, tips, and merch — and when venues start cutting into that just because they can, it hurts the very people keeping live music alive.

Support your favorite artists. Buy their merch. Speak up when you see unfair practices.
Because music thrives when artists are respected, not exploited.

We were incredibly grateful to have earned the trust to remaster such an iconic record — Allele’s Point of Origin.

We never take projects like this for granted. It all starts with great art, and this album has stood the test of time for a reason. Seeing how the remaster has been embraced by Allele’s fans has been nothing short of amazing.

At the end of the day, that’s what it’s all about — the music and the fans who keep it alive. ❤️

🎧 Point of Origin (2025 Remastered) — now streaming everywhere.
