When your music gets spotlighted by an official music magazine, it’s more than just a review—it’s recognition. “Fate” by Follow No One earned exactly that, with Skope Mag, a respected international music publication, praising the track for its power, authenticity, and originality.

According to the review, the guitar work in “Fate” speaks louder than words, carrying a strength and clarity that sets the song apart from formulaic rock. The magazine highlighted how the riffs themselves become the narrative, communicating emotion and drive without relying on clichés.

The vocals were described as rich and deliberate, cutting through with sincerity and passion. Rather than leaning on nostalgia, “Fate” was recognized as carving out its own lane—modern, muscular, and unapologetically bold.

Even the music video drew attention, with Skope Mag noting its sense of movement and journey. The visuals pair seamlessly with the song’s energy, creating an immersive experience that feels cinematic while staying grounded.

👉 For an official music magazine to spotlight “Fate” this way is proof that Follow No One isn’t just making noise—they’re making an impact. And this is exactly the kind of energy we’re building inside the Music Club: global, authentic, and recognized.

Like an album, every music video has its own heartbeat, but Fate carries something deeper—an intersection of place, family, and story that made the shoot unforgettable.

🎬 Shooting Across Colorado

The landscapes of southern Colorado became the canvas for Fate. From the rugged edges of Cañon City, to the quiet stretches of Penrose, to the urban textures of Pueblo, each location added its own character. These weren’t just backdrops—they were living, breathing parts of the narrative. The shifting skies, the raw terrain, and the mix of historic and modern settings gave the video a cinematic weight that couldn’t be faked.

✝️ A Family Role: The Priest

One of the most powerful elements of the video is the priest character, portrayed by Reagan, Rich’s son. His presence brought an authenticity that went beyond performance. Watching him step into the role on set was a reminder that Fate isn’t just about storytelling—it’s about legacy, connection, and passing something meaningful forward.

📸 Capturing the Process

The behind-the-scenes photo (included below) shows more than just the mechanics of filming. It captures the energy of collaboration—the crew setting up shots, the cast preparing, and the quiet moments between takes where the story was still alive in everyone’s minds.

🌍 Why It Matters

The album Fate was born from some of the most tragic moments of my life—chapters that tested me in ways I never expected. But every one of those trials was conquered. The goal of Fate was never just to make great music; it was to create something that could inspire. The message is simple but powerful: no matter how overwhelming the odds may seem, with perseverance and faith in God, anything is possible.

✨ Join the Journey

Fate isn’t just a video or an album—it’s a testament to resilience, faith, and the belief that no obstacle is too great to overcome. If the story behind this project resonates with you, I invite you to watch the video, share it with someone who needs encouragement, and carry its message forward.

This is more than music. It’s a reminder that perseverance and faith in God can turn even the hardest chapters into something powerful.

This Monday, we don’t ease in. We ignite. The clip we’re dropping today isn’t just a teaser—it’s a wake-up call. The guitar solo from “Your Time of Dying” hits like a comet, raw and cinematic, and the chorus that follows? It’s the anthem for anyone staring down the edge and choosing to leap.

This isn’t about fear. It’s about fire. About the moment you stop waiting for permission and start living like the clock’s already run out.

🎥 Watch the clip. 🎧 Feel the solo. 🗣️ Sing the chorus like it’s your last breath.

This is your time. Not someday. Not later. Now.

Some days, the only thing that makes sense is the road.

Not the destination. Not the plan. Just motion. That’s where “Just Drive” came from.

Pedro laid down the guitar in Lisbon. I hit the road in Colorado. The track lives in the tension between escape and arrival—between the chaos of the industry and the clarity of remembering what matters.

I’ve driven through storms with that song playing. Through memories of my Army days in Saudi. Through the silence after my grandfather passed. Through the noise of awards, labels, and the grind. Ten years sober, and still, some days the only therapy is a wheel, a horizon, and a song that knows your story.

The short we dropped this week captures that feeling. No filters. No fake drama. Just me behind the wheel, mountains ahead, and “Just Drive” in the speakers.

If you’ve ever felt boxed in, stir crazy, or like the only way forward is through—this one’s for you.

This week’s featured track is Stay. Again.

Until someone claims their Music Club access, Stay remains the default headliner. No rotation. No remix. Just a quiet loop in the spotlight.

Here’s the deal: the first member to step in gets to choose next week’s featured track. That’s not a perk — it’s a handoff. You shape the sound. You set the tone. You decide what plays next.

So if you’re reading this, and you’re the first to see it — Peruse the jukebox, head to the Lounge. Peruse the jukebox. Drop your pick. That’s how the next Friday Feature gets made.

We’re keeping this weekly. Every Friday, one track gets the spotlight. And until someone claims it, Stay stays.

Every band has a first. For Follow No One, that first was The Greatest Sin—our very first music video, shot in Kansas City.

Looking back, it feels like a time capsule. The video features me alongside a stunning blonde who gave the shoot its own cinematic edge. The vibe is different from what came later—raw, experimental, and full of the energy that comes with putting your vision on film for the very first time.

Fans have called The Greatest Sin “melodic, with that cool 80’s vibe” and “a true classic rocker.” That feedback meant everything, because this track set the tone for what Follow No One would become: unapologetic rock with twists, turns, and a nod to the great sounds of the past.

From Kansas City beginnings to Lisbon and Denver press today, the journey has been anything but ordinary. The Music Club exists to keep these moments alive—not just the polished releases, but the roots, the risks, and the stories behind the songs.

⚡️ Watch the original video now in the Video section of the Music Club. You don’t have to leave—everything lives right here. 🎸 Then stick around for more throwbacks, behind‑the‑scenes stories, and the next chapter of Follow No One.

When a song earns four stars from Digital Journal and gets called “mid‑tempo, edgy and liberating,” you know it’s more than just another single. Bring Me Peace is exactly that — a track that captures the raw, vulnerable side of Follow No One while still delivering the kind of retro‑rock punch that keeps fans coming back.

The review, written by Markos Papadatos, praised the song as “extremely radio‑friendly” with “lyrics that are pure poetry.” That balance — accessibility without compromise — is what makes Bring Me Peace stand out. It’s not afraid to be both powerful and personal, a combination that defines the duo’s sound.

For Rich Hall and Pedro Murino Almeida, this release came on the heels of winning Rock Duo/Group of the Year at the 2019 Josie Music Awards. That recognition wasn’t just a trophy moment — it was proof that their trans‑Atlantic collaboration had carved out a lane of its own.

What makes Bring Me Peace resonate is its honesty. It doesn’t hide behind overproduction or gimmicks. Instead, it leans into the duo’s strengths: Rich’s commanding vocals and Pedro’s guitar work that feels both classic and fresh. The result is a song that feels like it could live on a modern rock playlist or slip seamlessly into a setlist alongside the greats.

Why it matters

• It shows Follow No One’s ability to be raw and vulnerable without losing their edge.

• It reinforces their reputation as a band that can bridge eras — retro influences with modern execution.

• It’s another reminder that their music is “worth more than just a passing glance,” as Digital Journal put it.

For fans, Bring Me Peace isn’t just a song — it’s a statement. A reminder that rock can still be poetic, liberating, and deeply human.

There are moments in this journey that feel bigger than the stage itself. Winning Best Rock Act at the 2019 JMA Awards was one of those moments—and what happened right after is captured in this video.

Backstage at the Dollywood Theater, the energy was electric. The lights had barely cooled, the applause was still echoing, and I was standing there with the award in hand, trying to process what just happened. This wasn’t just a trophy—it was a recognition of the grind, the late nights, the riffs that wouldn’t let go, and the belief that rock still has something real to say.

This clip isn’t polished or staged. It’s raw. It’s me, in the middle of the chaos, taking it all in. That’s what makes it special—it’s the unfiltered side of a milestone that means everything to me and to the Follow No One Music Club.

Moments like this remind us why we do it: not for the spotlight, but for the connection. For the people who believe in the music, who show up, who share the ride.

So here it is—straight from backstage at Dollywood, right after the win. This is a piece of our story.

This isn’t your typical cover. Follow No One didn’t just borrow Bowie’s “I’m Afraid of Americans”—they hijacked it, rewired it, and sent it screaming down a darker highway. Released in 2018, their version trades art-rock polish for hard rock muscle, and the result is a track that doesn’t ask for your attention—it demands it.

⚡ What It Sounds Like

Rich Hall’s vocals don’t play coy. He’s not channeling Bowie’s detached cool—he’s throwing punches. Pedro Murillo’s guitar work is a full-on assault: industrial, relentless, and razor-edged. The whole thing feels like it was built in a bunker, not a studio.

This isn’t a remix. It’s a reinvention.

🧠 What It Says

The lyrics hit just as hard today as they did in the late '90s. Jonny still wants a brain. Jonny still wants a Coke. And “God is an American” still lands like a brick through a window. But Follow No One doesn’t lean into irony—they lean into confrontation. Their delivery makes it clear: this isn’t satire. It’s frustration. It’s fear. It’s fury.

🔥 Why It Works

Because it’s honest. Because it’s loud. Because it doesn’t care if you’re comfortable. Follow No One took a song that already had bite and gave it fangs. For fans of Bowie, Nine Inch Nails, or anyone who’s ever looked around and thought, “What the hell is happening?”—this one’s for you.

🗻 Live from Colorado Springs – Saturday Blog Post Helen Hunt Falls: Where Water Meets Wonder

Tucked into the heart of North Cheyenne Cañon Park, Helen Hunt Falls is one of Colorado Springs’ most accessible natural gems—and this morning, it’s putting on a show.

The falls tumble gracefully down a granite face, framed by golden aspens and crisp mountain air. Whether you're a weekend hiker, a shutterbug chasing autumn light, or just looking for a quiet moment to reflect, this spot delivers.

Named after writer and activist Helen Maria Hunt Jackson, the falls carry more than water—they carry legacy. And with the trailhead just minutes from downtown, it’s a reminder that wild beauty doesn’t always require a long drive or a backcountry permit.

🥾 Quick Tips for Rockers on the Trail:

• The Helen Hunt Falls Visitor Center is open seasonally and offers maps, info, and a great view from the deck.

• The Silver Cascade Falls Trail starts here—short, steep, and worth every step.

• Parking fills fast on weekends, so early birds get the best perch.

📸 Whether you’re snapping pics or soaking in the sound of rushing water, Helen Hunt Falls is a reminder: nature doesn’t whisper in Colorado—it sings.

Fridays just got louder. 🔥

Today’s Fresh Find is one of the tracks that carved out the Follow No One signature sound: Guardian Angel.

What makes it stand out? The verses ride on an odd 7/8 time signature, giving them a unique Latin pulse that instantly pulls you off balance—in the best way. Then, just when you think you’ve got it figured out, the song detonates into a ball‑busting hard rock chorus that defined the DNA of our sound from the start.

It’s not just a track—it’s a statement. A reminder that rock can be unpredictable, cinematic, and still hit like a freight train.

💡 Club Note: You can cue up Guardian Angel right now on the Music Club jukebox—because some songs aren’t meant to be background noise, they’re meant to take over the room.

👉 Spin It on the Jukebox

Some moments deserve a second spotlight—and this one still glows.

Before the Music Club was even a thought, we picked up an award that reminded us we weren’t just building a fanbase—we were building something that moved people. The recognition came from a platform that celebrates independent voices, and the trophy? Let’s just say it catches light the way our sound catches ears.

If you’ve seen the clip from our Tech Difficulties podcast, you’ll remember the moment I showed Pedro the award live. No script, no polish—just two creators reflecting on the grind, the glitches, and the glory.

We didn’t chase this win. It found us because we stayed true to the rhythm, the message, and the mission. And while the hardware is nice (see photo), it’s the community that makes it matter.

To everyone who’s been riding with us since day one: this one’s for you.

Stay tuned. The next drop’s already loading.

We’re proud to share a recent write‑up from Upcoming100 that dives deep into our latest album, Fate. The piece highlights what makes this project more than just another rock record—it’s a cinematic journey told across 17 tracks, blending classic rock DNA with a modern edge.

🎤 Who We Are

The article spotlights the duo behind Follow No One:

• Pedro Murino Almeida – classically trained composer and guitarist.

• Rich – award‑winning rock vocalist with theater roots.

Together, we’ve built a sound that critics describe as a cross between Queensrÿche and Styx, but always with our own signature twist.

💿 About Fate

• A concept album that plays like a film, complete with audio scenes and flashbacks.

• Chronicles a real‑life journey through success, loss, and redemption.

• Anchored by the single “Fate”, released April 8, which asks the timeless question: Do we shape destiny, or does destiny shape us?

🏆 Recognition

The feature also notes our Best Rock Act win at the 2019 JMA Awards and frames Fate as a project that pushes beyond industry norms—cinematic, ambitious, and unapologetically rock.

🙌 Why It Matters

For us, Fate isn’t just an album. It’s a statement: that rock can still be bold, story‑driven, and larger than life. We’re grateful to Upcoming100 for recognizing that vision and helping us share it with the world.

While we are busy beginning our new album, Rich gives you a shout from the vocal booth.  Kind of looks Colorado doesn't it?

Some songs are built to linger long after the last note fades. Stay by Follow No One is one of those tracks—an upbeat rock cut that balances driving guitars, heartfelt lyrics, and a chorus that hits with undeniable force.

From the opening riff, Stay makes its intentions clear: this is a love song, but not the soft‑spoken kind. It’s urgent, passionate, and alive with energy. The guitars carry the weight, pushing the track forward with grit and melody, while the vocals deliver every line with conviction.

⚡ A Chorus That Demands Attention

The chorus doesn’t invite a sing‑along—it commands the room. It’s powerful, emotional, and built to be felt as much as heard. It’s the kind of moment that reminds you why rock music still matters.

🎸 Guitar at the Core

As always with Follow No One, the guitar work is front and center. Stay showcases riffs that are sharp and memorable, with just enough edge to keep you locked in from start to finish.

❤️ Lyrics with Fire

At its heart, Stay is a love song—direct, passionate, and unafraid to show its urgency. It’s about holding on, about refusing to let go, and about channeling that emotion through the raw power of rock.

🎁 For Our Members

We’re proud to announce that Stay is the Music Club’s featured track of the month. Every member will receive their own copy—because this one deserves to live in your collection, not just your playlist.

So turn it up, let it run loud, and let Stay remind you what rock feels like when it’s done with heart.

#MusicClub #Stay #RockUnchained #LiveLoud #LIP #LinkInProfile

There’s something timeless about gathering around a fire. The glow of the flames, the warmth against the cool air, the circle of hay bales that invite conversation and laughter. It’s not just a scene — it’s a feeling.

For us, that feeling is the heartbeat of what we do. Music isn’t just about notes and lyrics; it’s about the moments that surround it. The anticipation before a song kicks in. The way a guitar solo cuts through the night air. The shared energy of people coming together, even if it’s just for a few minutes around a firepit.

That’s what we mean when we say we’re building moments, not just songs. Every riff, every chorus, every lyric is meant to live in spaces like this — where life feels a little more real, and connection feels a little more possible.

So as the weekend rolls in, we hope you find your own firepit, your own circle, your own soundtrack. And if you need us, you know where we’ll be: guitars in hand, amps turned up, and always ready to keep Rockin’. 🤘

Here’s to great music, good times, and the community we’re building together.
