Let's Record the Follow-up to "Dark Side of the Ocean"!

We're excited to do some NEW things we've never attempted before...

• Continuing the story of a previous album into a new album! 
  For anyone who was a fan of "Dark Side of the Ocean" (Cosmic Innuendo, Vol. I) you'll be excited to know that we have something even more ambitious up our sleeves with this new record, "Cosmic Innuendo, Vol. II."
• GIVING YOU A CHANCE TO BE ON THE RECORD!!!!! (See the perks)
• Diving deeper into philosophical territory than ever before. 
  Namely the problem and solution of evil in the world, and the fight between dark and light. This album will have the most creative and profound song lyrics Russ T. has ever made.
• Expanding the sounds of the Nautical Rock 'n' Roll genre we've created.
  We're excited to tell the world a message it urgently needs to hear, and through new sounds and modes of story-telling as we seek to progress and expand the genre we've created. 
• Giving every contributor of $15 or more Rusty Shipp's first-ever and UNRELEASED Live Album!!! 

What We Need & What You Get

We are really committed to continuing to put out the highest quality content (like our last records) that will get played on radio, streaming, podcasts, videos, etc.  When you add up all the costs of more than a month of recording studio time, the mixing, mastering, the artwork, manufacturing the perks, shipping, distribution, etc, it's not hard to see how actually $10k doesn't even cover how much this project will cost us. We really thank you for supporting us and we literally could not make this album (nor the previous ones) without your generous contributions!

We have SO MANY cool, exclusive perks you can ONLY get from contributing to this campaign, but more than that we hope you'll contribute to our project's completion because you want to see more harmony in the world and you believe that music like ours can literally make that happen!

The Impact

We REALLY believe in our mission as a band: "to inspire people’s imagination, fill them with hope, and do our part to increase harmony in the world using the medicine of music." This album, perhaps more than any other RS album, really digs into how we can give grace and build harmony in a world filled with so much evil and suffering, and we're confident that the world will be a better place when it's filled with people who have been inspired and challenged by the lyrics of this album.

You have made our last recordings a huge success in this feat with your support. This project is pushing the envelope on our mission more than ever. PLEASE help us get this urgent message of grace and love out to the world by funding the recording and release of it! 

About "Cosmic Innuendo, Vol. II"

In the wake of "Cosmic Innuendo, Vol. 1: Dark Side of the Ocean," this album is picking up the story about the sea angels from the bottom of the ocean who rode up to the surface of the ocean to see what has been causing an increasing number of human souls to sink down to them. What they find there at the surface is where this album starts...

If the Goal Is Not Met
Indiegogo lets artists keep whatever funds they raise. If the goal is not met, Rusty Shipp will still put whatever money was raised to helping with the costs of recording, mastering, artwork, manufacturing, perks, etc.  Falling short of the financial goal is by no means a deal breaker of this album being made. We already have enough funds to begin this recording project in November, and we're confident we'll raise this money needed to complete it. If we don't, the album will just take longer to finish, but EVERYONE WILL GET THIS ALBUM, AND THEIR PERKS!

Other Ways You Can Help Us Make This Album

Please help us get the word out about our Presale!  We can only do so much to let people know about it and raise the funds. Please help us by talking to your friends and family about it, sharing the link on social media, any music forums or groups, and encouraging others to join in on the exciting adventure of creating Cosmic Innuendo, Vol. II!

THANK YOU TO EVERYONE WHO HELPS US BRING THIS NEW ALBUM INTO THE WORLD!!!
