The Record
Side A is the band. Side B is the man alone. Both are Aden Paul.
Drop the needle ↓Side A · Full Band
The Rotten Cores
A whiskey-drenched, rollicking, sing-along affair. Roots rock 'n roll injected with punk energy — fiddle, pedal steel, and a pulsating kick drum behind masterfully crafted ballads and anthems. This is the band that leaves rooms with face-splitting grins, stomping feet, and songs that become more familiar with each visit.
For bars, festivals, and music clubs — anywhere a room wants to get loud.
- A1 Sweet Fellowship in Shame · The Rotten Cores 2012
- A2 Sunset Limited · The Rotten Cores 2015
- A3 The Hive · feat. Dr. Sick & Frank Stewart 2022
Side B · Solo & Duo
The Troubadour
The same finely-crafted songs, tempered for intimate spaces. Story-driven Southern Gothic ballads — authentic, bittersweet tales of broken promises and drunken debauchery — delivered with a rich baritone and a commanding, pin-drop-quiet presence.
For listening rooms, breweries, folk festivals, and opening slots — anywhere a room wants to lean in.
- B1 Bad Seeds and Precious Stones · Solo debut 2017
- B2 The Ballad of Mr. New Orleans · Solo single 2018
- B3 New album · stripped-down, Unplugged-style — in progress Soon
