Roadkeeper is a Texas based quartet formed in 2018 as an independent, self-produced project that combines a songwriter's emphasis on lyricism with the soundscape and sense of space of shoegaze and psychedelia. The core band of producer John Eric Hetherington, guitarist Trevor Tull, bassist Daniel Griffith and drummer Nicklaus Cogdill is one color on the canvas rather than the canvas itself. The group produces songs that are humanist, socially conscious and at times political, couched in cinematic analog synthesizers, noise rock guitars and a specific 80's acoustic guitar shimmer.

Roadkeeper has recently released the Robert Woodward directed music video for their song “Enemy Mine” and we are stoked to share it with you now. Speaking about the inspiration behind “Enemy Mine”, the band says “The lyrics to Enemy Mine were written about the far right radicalization of vulnerable young people in the US by white nationalist professional pundits who are fed viewers and readers by algorithms on social media and YouTube. There is an organized effort to convert impressionable young people into radical white supremacists and encourage them to undertake radical action against marginalized people and progressive political movements. Enemy Mine is about the dissonance between the perceived realities of radical white supremacists and that of everyone else.”
