A listener said about this track, "This is a pretty epic-sounding track, almost takes me back to about 15 years ago. I don't know, when there was real emotion in the music." Lnk in the comments. #AlternativeHipHop #IndieHipHop #RealMusic #EmotionalMusic #IndependentArtist #MusicDiscovery

Trying out a brand new track at this show. Two really, but only finished writing another yesterday morning. We're all excited to add a little bit of newness to the set to signal that I'm still writing, & we're still challenging ourselves, ready to take risks vs. flawlessly rehearse. I'm excited!

I wonder what it must have been like to live during a political era where the opposing viewpoint wasn't plainly obvious a con, ruse or scam. Did that time even ever exist?

Just wrote another song using a road as a metaphor.

Never Really Need a Calendar to Realize Our Days Numbered.

I still don't understand the economics of a 7" record. 1-2 songs. You save maybe a couple hundred bucks, but are still paying a grand? Change my mind. I'm open to it.

Excited for this! Just pre-ordered. Drops April 1st. Oh, and we're performing together at Remedy May 7th. psychwardgrips.bandcamp.com/album/abomin...

A modern step toward artistic freedom is not giving a fk about how to game the Spotify system. You'll be amazed at what you can accomplish when you stop trying to accommodate a machine that is actively impoverishing musicians.

American TV show formula = idiots thought they could accomplish something. Turns out they had no idea what they were getting into. Bring in the experts. Repeat. A lot like our politics.

They say tens of millions of people are on Bluesky. I’d be happy to meet even 200. I’m Dereos Roads, an alternative hip-hop artist mixing boom bap, blues and rap, trying to move beyond cowboy chords on the guitar & make music that moves you. Nice to meet you all. #AltHipHop #MusicSky #IndieMusic

Sometimes the only obstacle in the mirror is you. #bskyhiphop #alternativehiphop

Appreciate you spinning another one, Aron!

It's #BandcampFriday. You know what to do. Drop your links below! 🎸📷

The summer when they went outta town They went away Some of them, they ain't hung around They went away I remain and making a sound so in a way I'm the only one that's in my way... "I'm the Only One That's in My Way" dereosroads.bandcamp.com/track/im-the...

My brother never liked listening to music in the morning growing up. But it's Bandcamp Friday and I gotta get to work. "I'm the Only One That's in My Way" with Sean Zuza on bass guitar and Inzpire on the mix. Link in the comments.

What happens when you buy vinyl off Temu? Does your record stop spinning after a few hrs and your needle disintegrates?

It’s looking increasingly likely that Kristi Noem and Lewandowski funneled almost 200 million in government money to a company that is run by her friend and that nobody can give an address for. Oh, and it was 8 days old when it was awarded the contract.

How many emails do you get for new Bandcamp releases on Bandcamp Friday? #bandamp

Absolutely my best track since the last time I claimed a track was my best track. I really mean it this time. Really.

Hands down the best sarcastic expression or feigned understanding in cinematic history goes to John Candy in Planes Trains & Automobiles.

In 2025, Meta paid an effective federal tax rate of 3.5% — its lowest on record. Meanwhile, Meta is pumping $65 million into elections this year to boost AI friendly candidates. Trickle-down economics isn't just a hoax, it's corrosive to democracy. Big Money is the root of our dysfunction.

Why is it acceptable to have conservative Democratic members of Congress? I can't think of one liberal Republican.

This is the best political news I’ve seen in a very long time — so please pass it on👇 Each state can limit Citizens United in their own state & they don’t have to wait for other states to do it. Our new @rollingstone.com piece based on our new book MASTER PLAN. Get the book at LeverNews.com/book

In the same way an unlikable character on your favorite tv drama suddenly having a redemption arc signals their impending death, a politician telling the obvious truth telegraphs their announcement of retirement from public office.

My daughter asked me if I liked the music she listens to. Some. What matters is if it moves you. Not the BS and glamor. Great music has the power to impact someone who feels alone, and sometimes that person is the artist themselves.

I think I just wrote the song that's going to get my family out of this house 😉

A "throwaway" song isn't always what it appears to be. "No One Left to Follow" featuring Army of One of New Zealand is one of those tracks that grew on me once I heard his anthem of a verse. Listen today: www.dereosroads.com/no-one-left-... #indiehiphop #blueskymusic
