“Get Up Kid” hinges on a head-nodding electric guitar riff, while a hypnotic drumbeat
sets the tempo. Staring down adversity, he leans into a chantable chorus punctuated
by a question, “_Do you want to live or die on your knees?_” When asked about the
song Swanson explains, “_You can drive around and scream along to it,” he says. “
It’s about dealing with adversity and refusing to stay knocked down.”_

To pave the way for the album the band will be releasing a series of songs and videos
throughout early 2024. Pre-order _Here and Not Here_ and receive instant downloads
of four album tracks upon their release here: [Here And Not Here (orcd.co)](https://orcd.co/q9pd2bo)

Formed in the Heartland, _Mapping The Sky_ plays hypnotic hard rock laced with quotable
lyrics and sharp storytelling. “_Norman is a cool college town in the middle of 
Oklahoma,” _says Swanson,_ “Every once in a while, a great band pops out of the 
state. I’m doing my own thing. I move through different styles of rock. It’s alternative,
but it’s aggressive. There’s also a little bit of folk because of where I’m from—
of course.”_

At its core, _Mapping The Sky_ delivers an edgy hybrid of melody, rhythm, rock, 
and message. _“When I’m in a dark place, I always retreat into music and listen 
to my favorite songs,” _Swanson says. “_I want to write songs that connect._
