Colemine

Colemine Records was founded in late 2007 with the simple idea of putting out quality music with soul. The label is owned by Terry Cole.
With a focus on soul, funk, and R&B, Colemine has become a leading force in the independent music scene. They are dedicated to finding and promoting talented artists who create authentic and timeless music.
Over the years, Colemine has released numerous critically acclaimed albums and singles that have garnered attention from music lovers worldwide. Their commitment to preserving the essence of soul music sets them apart from other labels in the industry.

Monophonics are a San Francisco Bay Area soul band consisting of Austin Bohlman (Drums), Myles O’Mahony (Bass/Background Vocals), Ian McDonald (Guitar/Background Vocals), Ryan Scott (Trumpet/Background Vocals/Percussion) & Kelly Finnigan (Keys/Lead Vocals) along with a rotating 2nd horn usually filled by Nadav Nirenberg (Trombone).

Raised amid the rich musical culture and history of the San Francisco Bay Area, Monophonics proudly carry the torch through the generations into today’s musical landscape. Holding on to tradition, but by no means purists of any kind, they play their own brand of music known as “Psychedelic Soul.” The 2012 release of Monophonics last album In Your Brain saw the band pulling influences from such acts as early Funkadelic, Sly and The Family Stone and the The Temptation's Norman Whitfield produced records. With the new album, Sound of Sinning (April 1, 2015 on Transistor Sound Records), the band has grown in all areas of record making and felt a need to explore other important influences.

While *Monophonics* cherish these inspirations, with Sound of Sinning they started venturing beyond, to the groups that were inspiring those soul acts to embrace the psychedelic sound of the 60's and 70's. Bands such as

It’s Only Us is the sound of Monophonics continuing to grow as songwriters, musicians, performers and people reflecting on where they’ve been, andpushing the boundaries of what’s possible in the years to come. The title track from their most recent album is arguably the song that epitomizes the album’s sonic palette best: soulful, psychedelic, and looking forward. It is now available as a 7-inch single. Including a bonus B-side titled “Get The Gold”. Most recent LP sold out during its first week. Lead singer is Kelly Finnigan.
