Mojo Thunder releases “Coming Back To You” single from new album “The Infinite Hope”

“Coming Back To You” is a fun, uplifting rocker written by guitarist Bryson Willoughby. Lyrically the song reads like a love letter with conviction, passion, and assurance that despite any distance, no path is too far to come back from. Simply put, it’s unfettered devotion that isn’t ashamed to be honest.

Sean Sullivan gives a spectacular vocal performance, and Willoughby is perhaps at his most interesting with the guitar work. There’s a raw and raucous attack that accompanies the melodically rich tale thanks to the strong rhythm section of bassist Andrew Brockman and drummer Zac Shoopman.

Of the song, Willoughby says, “There’s a lot of tropes in rock and roll where artists indulge in this toxic machismo. It’s boring and overdone, and I wanted to say something real. Something that showed my relationship the respect it deserves, and above all else, was truthful.”

Mojo Thunder’s new album, The Infinite Hope explores topics such as activism (“Caroline”), tragedy (“Memphis”), the dark side of the American South (“Holy Ghost’), Love (“Grace,” “Coming Back to You”) and the search for truth (“Greetings from Western Art”). Champions of self-empowerment and authenticity, the band has cultivated a community built around acceptance. There is a sense of belonging in the music, and as the album title suggests, a call for hope.

Produced by Duane Lundy (Ringo Starr, Justin Wells, Sturgill Simpson) at the Lexington Recording Co. Lundy said, “We all shared the desire to do things as a unit, to perform, to mine for as many dynamics and emotion in their performances, but still putting the priority on the songs,” says Lundy about the recording process.

Continues Lundy, “The song lyrics are thoughtful and meaningful, something that I feel like is often slighted in current rock material. My main takeaway was the quality of people they are. Their invitation meant a great deal to me, and I feel like I have four new family members.”

Mojo Thunder – BiographyMojo Thunder is an American rock band from Kentucky composed of Bryson Willoughby (Lead Guitar) Sean Sullivan (vocals, guitar), Andrew Brockman (bass), and Zac Shoopman (drums).

The boys are seated under the shade of a family tree that bears its fruit on the branches of Kings of Leon, and the Black Crowes; deeply rooted in an unwavering respect for Lynyrd Skynyrd and Led Zeppelin.

Established in 2018, Mojo Thunder hit the road and quickly gained attention of live music fans with an electrifying show praised for its high energy, heavy grooves, improvised jams, and a familiar, yet new sound. Early studio efforts include two singles and an EP titled Loose Lips released June 9, 2019.

The debut Hymns from the Electric Church was released on May 24, 2021. Classic Rock Magazine described it as, “a stunner; a sun-dappled potpourri of everything good and true about American rock’n’roll, from crunching hard rock to soulful blues, from breezy cosmic Americana to head-bopping summertime arena-rock anthems.” It received a 9/10 review.

On March 7, 2023, the band released the live album Alive, with Friends which showcased the explementary qualities of the band’s live performance. It features guest appearances and extended versions of songs spanning from the first single through Hymns from the Electric Church. Recorded over two nights in Lexington and Louisville, Kentucky, fans were invited to be a part of the band’s hometown audience. Supplemental videos from the performances, including non-album material, were released on the band’s YouTube channel.

The sophomore album, The Infinite Hope is released August 30, 2024. Fans of rock music will be pleased to see a return to familiar sounds while also ambitiously reaching for new heights. The Southern American working-class ethos is put on full display with the newest release as it’s made clear that this is a band that will continue to grow and evolve. Genre: Modern Rock, Alternative Rock, Southern Rock
