Charlotte, North Carolina (Issuewire.com) - CHARLOTTE, NC – Charlotte’s own psychedelic rock powerhouse Council Ring is making waves with the release of their highly anticipated EP, Ripple Effect, now streaming everywhere. Known for their ability to fuse kaleidoscopic soundscapes with hard-hitting riffs, the band has carved out a reputation for live shows that feel less like concerts and more like full-body experiences.
Recorded and mixed by Joe May at Alta Mira Studios and mastered at Studio B Mastering, Ripple Effect showcases the band’s evolving sound—equal parts soaring melodies, jam-driven explorations, and gritty rock roots. The EP cover, designed by Enigma Artistry, mirrors the group’s hypnotic blend of visuals and sound.
Council Ring kicked off the release with a packed show at The Rabbit Hole in Charlotte alongside Athens, GA’s The Regulars, giving fans a first taste of the new material. But the momentum doesn’t stop there: the band is also set to bring their explosive live energy to the stage at Mantrabash 2025—a tight-knit, carefully curated festival loved for its community feel, authentic performances, and discovery of bands doing something fresh. It’s where fans who care deeply about live music gather, and it’s here that Council Ring’s sound will truly come alive.
With their combination of improvisation, storytelling, and raw instrumental firepower, Council Ring continues to win over fans who crave both heady jams and songs with heart. Their live performances are as unpredictable as they are unforgettable—making their upcoming Mantrabash set one of the most talked-about of the weekend.
