Milam County-Based Band Announces New Single

KCD Band, a musical group based in Milam County, is releasing its newest single, “Rebound,” on June 5.

The release is a prelude to the band’s six-song EP, “Love is Winning,” which is set to come out later this year.

Recorded at the Niles City Sound Studio in Fort Worth and produced by Grammy Winner Jordan Richardson, “Rebound” is a song about recovery, and was written by lead singer-songwriter Casey D. “KCD” Stanislaw. Distributed by Smith Music Group, “Rebound” was written during a period when Stanislaw was helping a friend navigate a series of personal setbacks. However, it has expanded to express how the worst stretches in life will not last forever.

“I didn’t want to lock it into one story,” Stanislaw says. “It turned into something more universal than that. It’s about giving yourself space to get right — and knowing you’ll come back.”

Formed in 2017, KCD Band is led by Stanislaw and features Scott D. Taylor (guitar), Jadan Oliver (keys and compositions), Scott Nichols (bass) and Joshua Spurling (drums). Their debut release, commemorating the memorable year, is called “Twentyseventeen.”

The lyrics of “Rebound” emphasize that support exists, even in isolation.

“There are people pulling for you that you’ll never meet,” he says. “That’s the whole point. You’re not as alone as you think you are.”

“Rebound” was tracked alongside the additional five songs from “Love is Winning” over two sessions early last year. Follow-up sessions were recorded by producer and drummer Jordan Richardson at his studio in Justin. The EP was produced by a seasoned studio team, with Aden Bubek on bass and Robert Ellis on acoustic guitar. It took the band months to refine the material through instrumentation and production.

“It’s not meant to hit you all at once,” Stanislaw says. “There’s always something else in there if you keep listening.”

“Rebound” is available for streaming on all major streaming platforms on Friday, June 5.
