Written by vocalist and rhythm guitarist Sean Sullivan, guitarist Bryson Willoughby, and drummer Zac Shoopman, "Let it Fall" is an emotionally rich rocker that truly defines what the band refers to as “Southern Alternative.”
"It is about personal mistakes that lead to losing someone you're in love with,” says Sullivan about “Let It Fall.” “Seeing as nothing new (perhaps better) can begin until the old has been put to rest."
Willoughby, who penned the track's title adds, "We often deny ourselves grace in our lowest moments, and Let it Fall embodies accountability, forgiveness, and the permission to let go so you can move forward."
Commenting on the song structure Shoopman says, " It was a true exercise in playing only what’s necessary for me. The way everything weaves together and climaxes into the final chorus feels great." Of his lyrical contributions he adds, "The idea that we’re all just a bit of evolved cosmic debris is fascinating to me, which is where the line about being dust from a star came from."
On the album as a whole bassist Andrew Brockman says, "We've tapped into something I don't think we were capable of a few years ago, and it's been awesome to grow as musicians and people with this group."
The Infinite Hope explores topics such as activism ("Caroline"), tragedy ("Memphis"), the dark side of the American south ("Holy Ghost'), Love ("Grace," "Coming Back To You") and the search for truth ("Greetings from Western Art"). Champions of self-empowerment and authenticity, the band has cultivated a community built around acceptance. There is a sense of belonging in the music, and as the album title suggests, a call for hope.
Produced by Duane Lundy (Ringo Starr, Justin Wells, Sturgill Simpson) at the Lexington Recording Co. Lundy said, "We all shared the desire to do things as a unit, to perform, to mine for as many dynamics and emotion in their performances, but still putting the priority on the songs," says Lundy about the recording process.
Continues Lundy, "The lyrics are thoughtful and meaningful, something that I feel like is often slighted in current rock material, but my main takeaway was the quality of people they are. Their invitation meant a great deal to me, and I feel like I have four new family members."

Mojo Thunder - Biography
Mojo Thunder is an American rock band from Kentucky composed of Bryson Willoughby (Lead Guitar) Sean Sullivan (vocals, guitar), Andrew Brockman (bass), and Zac Shoopman (drums).
The boys are seated under the shade of a family tree that bears its fruit on the branches of Kings of Leon, and the Black Crowes; deeply rooted in an unwavering respect for Lynyrd Skynyrd and Led Zeppelin.
Established in 2018, Mojo Thunder hit the road and quickly gained attention of live music fans with an electrifying show praised for its high energy, heavy grooves, improvised jams, and a familiar, yet new sound. Early studio efforts include two singles, and an EP titled Loose Lips released June 9, 2019.
The debut Hymns from the Electric Church was released on May 24, 2021. Classic Rock Magazine described it as, "a stunner; a sun-dappled potpourri of everything good and true about American rock’n’roll, from crunching hard rock to soulful blues, from breezy cosmic Americana to head-bopping summertime arena-rock anthems." It received a 9/10 review.
On March 7, 2023, the band released the live album Alive, with Friends that showcased the explementary qualities of the band's live performance. It features guest appearances and extended versions of songs spanning from the first single through Hymns from the Electric Church. Recorded over two nights in Lexington and Louisville, Kentucky, fans were invited to be a part of the band's hometown audience. Supplemental videos from the performances, including non-album material, were released on the band's YouTube channel.
The sophomore album, The Infinite Hope is released August 30, 2024. Fans of rock music will be pleased to see a return to familiar sounds while also ambitiously reaching for new heights. The southern American working-class ethos is put on full display with the newest release as it's made clear that this is a band that will continue to grow and evolve.
