Every band has its defining moment—a point where they choose to rise or let the weight of the world push them down. For Tanner and Peyton it was when a founding member gave them an ultimatum. They believed they were parting on good terms, but betrayal set in and as their success grew, so did the attacks. The misguided mockery resulted in an attempt to slander their fans, but Tanner and Peyton embraced the moment and what resulted is the now official name of their loyal family, friends and fans, “The Mob Squad.”

Tanner and Peyton say, “What was meant to be a taunt became a banner we proudly wave.” Their latest single, “Yes We Will (Mob Squad)” is not just a song—it’s a movement, a rallying cry for anyone who’s been doubted, underestimated, or faced adversity. It represents resilience, loyalty, and the unwavering spirit of those who stand strong in the face of challenge.

With pounding drums, roaring guitars and a chorus that demands to be shouted from the rooftops, “Yes We Will (Mob Squad)” is an anthem for those who stand together. No matter where you’re from, no matter what battles you’ve faced, The Mob Squad welcomes you. And when it’s all said and done, they will remember our name.

“Yes We Will (Mob Squad)” is off of an upcoming EP which marks a new chapter for RAGS AND RICHES. Unlike anything they’ve written before, their new sound blends hip-hop, pop and alternative into one. Covering themes of controversy, the duo reveal real-life, vulnerable stories, from breakups and affairs, to liars and backstabbers. 

“Yes We Will (Mob Squad) is a great song from the phenomenal, RAGS AND RICHES

We recently had the amazing opportunity to check out the debut album “Shadow Work” from Nashville based , Louisville,Kentucky raised singer-songwriter Sam Varga .

You can listen to “Shadow Work” Here

We don’t like to beat around the bush on The Whole Kameese so, we are going to come right out and say it… The debut album “Shadow Work” from Sam Varga features 11 high quality brilliantly written songs . When you hit play you get 36 minutes of absolute musical nirvana.

Right from note one on “Shadow Work” Sam Varga draws you in with smart , witty lyrics and addictive melodies. “Never Better” is a cleverly written song that we found ourselves mindlessly singing the chorus throughout our day. “Up Down” has a power punk feel. Sam Varga’s impressive vocals are on full display on “Up Down”

Sam Varga shows a stroke of song writing genius with “Alive” The Meg Ryan “When Harry Met Sally “ reference is simply amazing!

One of our favorites on “Shadow Work” is “Jim Carey” Varga carefully delivers an absolutely stunningly beautifully written song . ( We were literally hanging on every word )

In our book Sam Varga gets extra credit on “Shadow Work” for including a song with a Harry Potter reference. “Horcrux” is simply otherworldly.

If we had to pick a favorite song ( which on a record this good , is so hard to do ) We would have to go with “Stories We Tell” it is a beautifully written sonically and melodically pleasing song . “Stories We Tell” played out like a diary entry, authentic,personal- perfect !

If music is your thing , then you owe it to yourself to check out “Shadow Work “ from Sam Varga.
