ST. PAUL & THE BROKEN BONES Announce PROXY EP Via Oasis Pizza Records
Paul Janeway calls the new track Loving Wrong a ballad with an epic twist at the outro.
St. Paul & The Broken Bones has confirmed a new four-song collection titled PROXY, set for release via Oasis Pizza Records. The Alabama soul band, praised by NPR Music as one of the nation's best live acts, also shared a new track from the project called Loving Wrong, along with an accompanying visualizer. The song follows the previously released Mess I Made and arrives after the band's celebrated self-titled sixth studio album.
PROXY is set for release on September 18th via Oasis Pizza Records. Paul Janeway of the band shares: 'The best part of releasing this music is it gets to find its place in the world. I think this is a really strong collection of songs. Obviously, there are only four songs, but they carry the same weight as songs on a full album. Each song carries its own story. I am really proud of this collection, and I hope they get to be a part of flashbulb memories for those that hear them.'
Janeway reveals of 'Loving Wrong,' 'The wonderful part of this song is it sounds like a standard 6/8 ballad but then it takes a turn at the outro that makes for a really beautiful epic moment. I think this band does ballads really well. There are the general catch all lyrics about lost love that could be sung by anyone who has gone through heart ache.'
St. Paul & The Broken Bones are a powerhouse soul ensemble from Alabama known for their electrifying live shows and impassioned vocals. Formed in Birmingham in 2011, the band features Paul Janeway (vocals), Jesse Phillips (bass), Browan Lollar (guitar), Kevin Leon (drums), Al Gamble (keyboards), Allen Branstetter (trumpet), Chad Fisher (trombone), and Amari Ansari (saxophone). Their new self-titled sixth album marks a creative renewal—melding the band's adventurous spirit with a return to soulful, song-focused roots. Recorded at the legendary FAME Studios and produced by Eg White (Adele, Celine Dion), the record blends psych-funk grooves, gospel-tinged ballads, and cinematic rock flourishes. Tracks like 'Sushi and Coca-Cola' and 'Going Back' reflect both personal introspection and the band's deepened identity after a decade of evolution. St. Paul & The Broken Bones have shared stages with The Rolling Stones, Lizzo, and Black Pumas, and performed at major festivals like Coachella, Glastonbury, Lollapalooza, and Bonnaroo. Even Sir Elton John took notice, inviting them to perform at his Oscar party. Blending rock & roll, soul, R&B, and more, the band continues to captivate audiences around the world.
