Big news #KantKon fans, we're officially a semifinalist in the prestigious and long-running International Songwriting Competition! #ISC2022SEMIFINALIST Dr. Wes has written several new songs over the past year over multiple new genres, now with enough material for a full album and bonus EP; we've been on a bit of a hiatus with public postings amid all the background work, training, and post-production among other duties over the past few weeks and months, but rest assured we haven't been idle. As mentioned we've spread our wings and branched out to four new genres building on our foundation in alt rock, sending a sample of the new productions to the ISC; we're therefore grateful and excited to announce this special honor. A great thanks to the ISC for recognizing our hard work as our submissions move through the contest, and for all you loyal fans and followers out there, we'll be following up with sneak peeks of the new music and remasterings going forward. Stay tuned and rock on! . We are KantKon. Come join the hypno-intox musical revolution! . . . . . #ISC #songwritinghonor #songwritingaward #songwritingawards #internationalsongwritingcompetition #internationalsongwritingcontest #songwriter #isc2022 #newgenres #newalbum #singersongwriter #topsoil #awardedsong #songaward #musicalrange #topsongwriter #nuevacancion #nouvellechanson #neueslied #hypnointox #songrecognition #songprize #comingsoon (at Charlottesville, Virginia) https://www.instagram.com/p/CpvGp64sFNw/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

A picture from a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away... aka last year in the world pre-COVID. Dr. Wes did a brief but rousing open-mic on a visit to the sumptuous Louisiana State University campus -- and drew inspiration for one of the soul-rocking songs on the band's upcoming second EP. The way things have been going in this seemingly interminable horrid year, it's sometimes challenging to even recall a world when open-mics, concerts, much less music festivals were even possible. But music never dies, and its soul will carry through. We'll have more updates on the mystery song and the second EP in the weeks ahead.

Happy Thanksgiving weekend everyone, and thanks to all of you soldiering on even amid the latest wave of restrictions from the pandemic. All of us here with the Kant's Konundrum band know it's been a rough few months and it still looks like no end in sight at a time when we most want to be reconnecting with friends and loved ones. But we're learning more about how to fight this thing day-by-day, week-by-week, and anything you can do to save just one more ICU bed for the exhausted nurses, doctors, and other foot soldiers on the hospital front lines is hugely appreciated. Much gratitude, enjoy the holiday, and stay safe! . . . . . #thanksgiving #thanksgivingfloat #float #happythanksgivng #covidthanksgiving #covid #covid19 #coronavirus #pandemic #pandemicthanksgiving #covidlockdown #staysafe #covidrestrictions #KantsKonundrum #HypnoIntox #JWesUlmandKantsKonundrum #JWesUlm #covid19pandemic (at Charlotte, North Carolina) https://www.instagram.com/p/CIHxLm8DVKB/?igshid=7lnb72qn3ig9

For anyone looking for a semi-healthy late-night tonic for that project deadline or on-call shift (or upcoming concert/festival, for us music-minded types), this stuff is rocket fuel. It's called Breitsamer honey (Breitsamer Honig), made by the bees in a very special apiary in Bavaria, Germany, and it's a sublime addition to that late night cup of tea you're using to burn the midnight oil. And then when you finally do get to hit the hay, you've got a sweet aftertaste to take you into dreamland. This was one of our favorite little second-winders in composing songs for our 2nd EP starting last year, so we've got some good stuff coming soon for your listening pleasure.

Hank "the Hustler" O'Neill (played by yours truly), desperate to maintain his cover as a gang member, steeling his face and summoning his courage as he makes the fateful decision to infiltrate the viper's nest: the headquarters of the bloodthirsty gang kingpin, Sheldon "Sharkie" Meyer. Music video still from the start of the second long verse in our award-winning single and short film, A Hustler's Tale. See more from the re-released fukl Hustler's Tale music video, at the link at the top of this Instagram page. We are #KantKon .

Our first music video, for the hit single A Hustler's Tale, is now the official record holder for the most awarded debut music video released by a new band, with 10 Festival prizes, including two recent and prestigious wins in the great city of London! We're now on the cusp of releasing our second video, so to mark the occasion, we've done a small but significant retouching of the Hustler's Tale video on our YouTube channel, at the link on top of our IG page. Be sure to check it out, like, comment, and subscribe as we commence the roll out of material for our riveting follow up, for our song Things Said While We Dream, from our band Kant's Konundrum's groundbreaking debut EP Tales of a Wandering Soul. We are #KantKon .

We're starting the countdown to our second big official music video release everyone! The music's been evolving in the direction of a unique, imaginative, mystical sound, but with elements of grunge and alternative revival of 1990s-era styles, as well as otherworldly, haunting tunes in the style of Robert Chambers, HP Lovecraft, Edgar Allan Poe , and other authors of imaginative, eerie fiction, so we're placing ever greater emphasis on striking visual elements and the sorts of musical movements that energize the world to see bands like Nirvana, Stone Temple Pilots, Pearl Jam, REM, and Foo Fighters. And in contrast to our debut release with A Hustler's Tale,, when we were grrenhorns just getting started, we have a huge raft of material now waiting in the wings to coincide with the 2nd video, including cover videos recorded this past winter in Covina, CA with master guitarist Gratz Arias, so we'll be rolling material out gradually to build up some excitement and buzz for the full release. These'll include previews and trailers for the Things Said While We Dream music video itself, interspersed with a couple of our first cover recordings, and with my excellent team now assembled able to take the reins when my own work schedule makes it tough to log on, we'll be able to shift gears and release new YouTube video material about every two weeks! So if you haven't done so already, make sure to subscribe to our YouTube channel, we've got an avalanche of cool stuff for you coming soon. Get ready for the Hypno-Intox Musical Revolution, because it's now officially in motion! . . . . . . . . . . . . . .#newmusic #JWesUlm #JWesUlmandKantsKonundrum #KantsKonundrumband #KantsKonundrum #inthestudio #recordingartist #recording #jammin #jammingaway #jamming #secondEP #followupEP #hypnointox #grungetevival #alternativerevival #lovecraftian #lovecraftianmusic #schoolifpoe #otherworldlymusic #hauntingmusic #hauntingsound #coverrecordings #coverrecording #coversongs #songcovers #gratzarias (at Covina, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/BxL2oNhAA2u/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=jbertkj3zt4i

Epically badass entrance on the scene by actor Rocco Bovo as "Bruiser" Billy Ward, a high-ranking lieutenant in the street army of Tony "the Terror" Wales' gang. A little quiz and opportunity for fame and a public shout out for any sharp-eyed fans out there: Bruiser Billy is emblematic of a basic identifying difference between the two rival gangs of Tony and his bitter rival, Sheldon "Sharkie" Meyer. In other words, there's something fundamental in the appearance of the foot soldiers of the two gangs that allows outsiders to distinguish them. Can you identify what it is? Fiirst, check out and watch the Hustler's Tale music video at the link on top of our IG page, and subscribe to our YouTube channel (the red subscription button on the YouTube video page), then provide your proposed answer in a comment to this IG posting. Any and all correct answers by subscribers -- and we'll accept any "close enough" answers by subscribers especially if they have a clever argument to back them up -- will be recognized, and we'll make you famous by mentioning your name on our next IG post, as well as tweeting you on the band's official Twitter and mentioning you on our official Facebook page to boot! Also, if there's anything special you want us to mention, for example a shop you're opening or creative project you yourself are putting out, just include it in your comment answer or send me a quick IM once you've subscribed to the YT channel and we'll include it in the fan shout out to you. If you're unsure of the answer, re-watch the music video, again at the link on top of this IG page, and pay close attention to the silent film panels to identify who is in what gang. If necessary, we'll provide an additional hint in the next couple IG posts. Good luck!

We've fully remastered the first song on our soon-to-be re-released blockbuster debut EP, Tales of a Wandering Soul!
