Coopertheband is a bramily (band/friends/family) composed of six massive music nerds with minds to rhyme and twelve hot feet. Centered in Jackson, TN, the band has found success nationally, featured on networks like HBO, ESPN, and TruTV as well as the hit show “Without a Trace.” Coopertheband is also hugely plugged into the local music scene and often finds itself on podcasts, regional television shows, and the occasional old-fashioned newspaper article. To date, Coopertheband has released three albums – Venture (2010), Kings EP (2012), and most recently, Kingdoms (2017) – now available everywhere.
Their newest track is called, “Stuck” and it is a single release written and performed by Coopertheband, and produced by Kyle Schonewill. As we listened we were drawn in by the amazing combination of guitar and vocals. It gave us a feeling of new beginnings, that you only get when you are leaving your city and moving into a beautiful new area. It brings a sensation of excitement and motivation to conquer anything in your way to conquer your dreams. Check out the track below.

The album is a labor of love that Soft Punch, the stage name of Rye Thomas, has been working on for years since the diagnosis of his chronic illness. It takes you through the highs and lows, mourning the freedom lost, and celebrating the things that he is grateful for in his day to day life. I had the opportunity to sit down and talk to him about his process of writing the album.
The titles of albums are the first thing that an artist sees. That, and the artist’s name. When I first heard the name ‘Soft Punch’, I was intrigued. It was gentle but intentional. “I don’t know if I had a specific ‘A-ha, Lightbulb’ moment, but I was interested in words that sound good together and have multiple meanings,” Thomas said. “It’s a gentle hit, and a nonalcoholic punch. It’s the image of something harsh and something soft is interesting to me. I think I lucked out.”
