Planet Tone artist Josh Ramos presents some powerful and soulful playing in this collaboration with Tony Mills of TNT and Shy. His goal was to allow each aspect of the music to come through instead of today's wall of sound. Very tastefully done indeed! Josh's music spans several decades and has been at the forefront of the rock scene with many powerful bands such as Hardline and The Storm. As can be heard from this effort, Josh really has a wide range of music to offer. Josh plays his signature version of our Planet Tone Custom Shop Silentium Pickups.

ICE CREAM IN HELL Tinsley Ellis, Heartfixer Music BMI If Blues is what soothes your soul, gets you through a pandemic or arms you in the daily trenches, then take a little ride down tin pan alley, to a little malt shop called… Ice Cream In Hell.

Johnson & Cray, Jeff Beck, Stevie Ray (one ride in Tinsley’s guitar stable was indeed, formerly played by SRV). Hundreds of other souls would round out and fill in the genetic pool. Third-cousins-twice-removed might even include Big Mama, Lucinda…it’s possible...
Back in the late 1940s and very early 1950s, Leo Fender created many early versions of what would become today's Telecaster®. While the Telecaster® has evolved in so many ways, especially from that early "snakehead" model, the early pickup that was first used was a mainstay - at least at first. The pickup was wound to about 9.0k in many respects and yielded a much hotter and twangier tone that yielded a mean lead tone when driven with overdrive a sweet hot vintage tube amp. For some, it was too hot. So, Leo compromised sometime in the mid early 1950s and started winding pickups closer to the 5.5-6.0k range.

We Own Land are one of the most exciting up and coming punk & rock offerings in a long time. Guitarists Jonny Jones and Travis Ward, both on the Planet Tone artist roster, pack an aggressive one, two punch. We were able to catch up with Travis Ward as they hit the studio. Actively working on their second release, We Own Land promises to deliver energetic power packed riffs with songs infused with heart racing, melodic solos. 1. Your last album was an amazing punk and rock collaboration. What can fans expect on your next release? Since our last album, we have written many songs. We are all from different backgrounds from a musical standpoint, which in turn has really...
