🚨 SHOW ANNOUNCEMENT 🚨
Jacksonville… prepare yourselves. A seismic event is coming.

On Friday, January 30th, 2026, DECCA LIVE will host a lineup so stacked, the universe might have to recalibrate. Why? Because THREE Rock Sun Records artists are converging on the same stage on the same night. Scientists would call that “impossible.” We call it Friday.

🔥 Allele – Headlining and ready to shake the foundation
⚙️ GEARS – Bringing the heavy, the groove, and the fire
🜂 VOXX BAND – Closing in like a cosmic anomaly

PLUS: the always relentless Mindslip.

This isn’t just a show. This is a gravitational disturbance. A tear in the atmosphere. A Rock Sun alignment so rare it might cause a shift in the cosmos—or at the very least, your equilibrium.

📍 DECCA LIVE – Jacksonville, FL
🎟️ Tickets: $15
👥 All Ages

Don’t miss this. The universe might not allow it to happen twice. 🌑🔥

🔥 OUT NOW: IN AGONY – “ULT+CTL” 🔥
Available on ALL digital outlets.

Rock Sun Records is proud to announce the debut release from In Agony, and it hits harder than a dopamine-starved refresh cycle.

“ULT+CTL” isn’t just the first song ever written for IN AGONY—it’s the moment its creator finally stopped hiding behind ambiguity and revealed the truth behind the track. After a year of reflection (and a little push from the people closest to him), the message came into full focus:

📱 “Ultimate Control” is about how smartphones have become the most addictive drug on the planet.
A force that transcends race, nationality, gender, personality, and age—pulling the entire human race into dependency. Kids raised on screens instead of books. Social skills swapped for social feeds. Parents using devices as babysitters. Schools replacing handwriting with typing. Humanity trading real connection for digital sedation… all in just 17 years.

We wake to the phone. We sleep next to the phone. Can’t navigate, can’t wait for a table, can’t see a menu, can’t join a team, can’t do homework without the device. It runs our lives.
And the wildest part?
Everyone’s a dealer.

“ULT+CTL” is a wake-up call wrapped in a crushing track.

🔗 Stream it everywhere now.
Turn it up.
Then maybe… put your phone down.

🚨 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. 🤘
