Mynd Reader - [LP]

"MYND READER is the debut album from Boulder, CO band MYND READER. Bio: For drummer and songwriter Brian Sachs, MYND READER isn’t just a band – it’s a spiritual return to the healing power of rock and roll. A fixture of New York City’s legendary early-’90s scene with his first band The Authority, Sachs helped fuel the city’s funk-rock underground, sharing stages with Phish, Blues Traveler, and Dave Matthews Band, grinding out 200+ shows a year, playing iconic venues like Nightingales and holding down residencies at The Wetlands. After the sudden passing of their manager and mentor Bill Graham, one of the most powerful men in rock promotion, the dream dimmed, and Sachs eventually relocated to Boulder, Colorado, where he built a business career while quietly nurturing his lifelong connection to music. In 2022, following a season of profound personal change, Sachs reunited with multi-instrumentalist Tonin. What began as a toast on the Fourth of July quickly sparked a creative fire and MYND READER was born – a fusion of soul, grit, and transcendence that channels classic rock’s raw spirit through a modern lens. Joined by powerhouse vocalist Shelby Kemp, the band crafts songs that live between darkness and light, rooted in timeless rock energy and emotional depth. Their sound evokes The Black Crowes, My Morning Jacket, and Chris Stapleton – a cinematic blend of Heavy roots, blues, and modern Americana designed to uplift and awaken. Mixed by seven-time GRAMMY® winner Michael Brauer (Coldplay, My Morning Jacket, The Rolling Stones), MYND READER’s eponymous debut album (arriving January 30, 2026) captures that spirit across singles like “Radio Warning” topping at #24 on Billboard’s Rock Chart and “Simply Avanti” charting on the AAA Billboard chart. Their latest singles continue this momentum, following the success of the recently released radio version of “Home,” which climbed to #2 on the SMR Rock Chart (Secondary Market Rock), and “Mourning Light” that cracked the Billboard AAA chart in October, and so far has netted a #95 slot. Now, MYND READER has released a new single, “Birdsong,” which dropped on Oct. 31, 2025. In the last six months, MYND READER has amassed hundreds of thousands of streams, over 100K YouTube subscribers, and 50K social followers, cementing their reputation as one of rock’s most exciting new voices. At its core, MYND READER is music as medicine – a reminder that real, soul-driven rock still matters. It’s redemption, rhythm, and rebirth – the church of rock and roll, reborn in Colorado. Drivers: -We closed the year with our latest single “Mourning Light” climbing to #71 at AAA while our next single and album highlight “Home” got a syndicated spin on Alt 98.7’s Out of Order show. We’re taking that one to Alternative Specialty at the top of 2026 and then will work it at AAA after our current campaign ends. -We just got our first review for the album- https://dailymusicspin.com/mynd-reader -Additional confirmed press will hit next year in Rolling Stone UK, Paste Magazine, Billboard Argentina, LA Weekly, The Associated Press, Hollywood Magazine, Spin Magazine and more -The band will perform on local TV stations FOX31 Denver, FOX 21 Colorado Springs and NBC Denver 9News "
