The Cold Stares: Blues chameleon
“In the purest Southern tradition, while leaving enough freedom to put on his personal touch, THE COLD STARES makes a true declaration of love to the state that has seen many of its influences born. With “Texas”, the combo pays a vibrant and intense tribute to those who partly forge its Blues Rock between a life-giving modernity and a great respect for the foundations. This new effort may not be his most striking record, but it is obviously the most neat and subtle.”

“Sugarcane” from TEXAS is on Youtube!
“Sugarcane” from TEXAS is premiering right now, April 30th, 2026, on our YouTube channel. One of our favorites from the new album. ‘I wrote this one on a walk in Austin from stories I heard from a friend in Memphis. By the end of the walk I had the lyrics memorized in my head.’ – CT.
Big thank you to @12inchmedia for bringing my vision to life again.

Interview with Mr. Mullins of The Cold Stares
“I hope music is a release from those exact things that divide us. All music. I want to get as far away from that division as I can, personally. Many acts I love have had political statements, lyrics, causes, platforms and so on. That doesn’t have anything to do with what I love about their art, whether I agree with them or not.” – Brian Mullins of The Cold Stares
