Scott Collins & The Sovereignty were praised by Static Multimedia as “blistering” in the vein of Neil Young & Crazy Horse and both “raw and emotionally impactful.”

Tall and fierce, with an origin story that reaches back to the infancy of Nashville rock and roll, Scott Collins is probably a vampire. He is well-known as one half of the duo The Smoking Flowers and the slashing guitarist in soulful garage outfit Justin and The Cosmics. But after years of playing counterpoint in two of Nashville’s most feared bands, Scott Collins has planted his flag on the moon with a long-awaited project entirely his own. 

Utilizing his mastery of sound dynamics, which came from playing as a duo in The Smoking Flowers — nobody in Nashville can wrangle snarling guitar feedback like he can — and the full-throttle attack of a four-piece band like The Cosmics, Scott Collins has created a new sound and band both familiar to fans of his previous projects, and also to fans of some of the greatest punk and new wave bands of all time.

One might hear the urgency of The Clash, the soaring tenderness of Jeff Buckley, the space of My Bloody Valentine, the rawness of Dead Moon, and the integrity of Pearl Jam all in Scott Collins’ songs, but put it all together and it’s a sound as fresh as blood. Drink it down and live to rock forever. 

Scott Collins followed up 2024's solo debut album Purple Pain with the full band live in-studio release album Bravery is Necessary on January 24, 2025.  Subsequently on September 5, 2025 Scott released the sayonara stand alone single Extinguish The Flame and then the solo acoustic live album in one-take Capistrano Beach on October 10, 2025.
