Music

 

The latest album Ride Free is scheduled for  release summer of 2025. The first singles will be heard on independent radio in May.

Dust Settles, released in June of 2024, is streaming on all platforms. CD's and vinyl are available through SelectOHits (click here!), or by contacting erik@erikbuellmusic.net. 

Erik's first studio album Anthem, a hard rock collection recorded with his prior band The Thunderbolts, is still available to stream through Amazon, Apple Music, etc. The CD's are sold out and it appears the label is not printing more.

There are a limited number of CD's available of the basement-recorded first Erik Buell and The Thunderbolts album, Riders Of The Edge. Just drop us a note when you sign up for our mailing list if you are interested.
