The Funk Police! was originally formed as a studio project by Joe Karmazyn and Eric Hecker in Linden, North Carolina circa 2020. The recording process of the self-titled debut album had undergone several transitional periods before its completion in 2024. Shortly after the release, the live band was formed and began rehearsals for performances based in Nashville, Tennessee.
Residing in the Music City, the Funk Police! features Preston Milne on bass, Collin McDonald on keys, and Marcus Clonts/Aidan Babson on drums. The lore continues with the band releasing their second album, “The Captain And Mr. Sandwich Man Form The Band”, which is a compilation of almost all of the original shows from 2024 and even two live recording sessions.
“Freeze!” is the third The Funk Police! album, which began in the winter of ‘24. It features many new songs as well as unreleased songs from over a decade ago written by Joe and Eric, before The Funk Police! was formed. It’s an introspective collection of memories; a time capsule filled with meaning.
As time goes on, “D I G I T A L - A R T I F A C T S” are currently being excavated by The Funk Police! A new direction for the group… Although returning to the original modular synthesizer method used on the first self-titled debut song. We’re excited to explore the futuristic possibilities of electronic exploration and hope you are too!

Big Decisions
Big Decisions
Rock
Big Decisions is an up-and-coming rock band from Nashville that straddles the line between pop-punk and alternative. What started in 2023 as a hobby cover group has become an all-original focused band utilizing catchy hooks and riffs to communicate personal messages that can only be found through deep reflection and introspection - an ear-worm from the heart. It’s a sound inspired by and evoking the late 90’s/early 2000’s pop-punk/garage rock movements while expanding with their own spin, miscellaneous influences, and individual experiences. While Austin (rhythm guitar), David (bass), Houston (lead guitar), Seth (drums), and Will (lead vocals and lyricist) are shooting for the stars, they also strive to maintain that sense of authenticity that will always make you want to say, “hi”, and connect on a down-to-earth level.
