Gold King Mine is a Tipping Point On Wednesday, August 5 the Environmental Protection Agency was inspecting the Gold King Mine, a suspended mine outside of Durango.

The Delta Saints + Ed Spear release Bones
The Delta Saints released Bones, an album capturing their gritty Nashville style on record. The album was released with Loud and Proud Records. 'Heavy Hammer' grabbed my attention right away.

The tracks on the album provide a range of emotions built with unique song structures. 'Dust' is a provocative track that works on the
