Introduce yourself & your part in the band.

My name is Garret Rapp & I am the vocalist of The Color Morale.

How did you come up with the name The Color Morale?

I wanted a name to correlate what our bands mission was. Color is written in context of adding optimism or hope into your daily morale.

THE COLOR MORALE

You recently signed with Fearless Records, how is that going for you so far?

Absolutely incredible. The communication is so great. As a business, a record label’s job is to make money selling music. However with Fearless, I also feel a sense of family and connection as an artist as well, not just a product. I couldn't be happier with where I am.

You have announced your new album Hold On Pain Ends. What can we expect from that?

It takes off where Know Hope left off. Know Hope was a lifestyle decision I made for myself, this record is about the next year I spent observing while on the road. I made a commitment to sell my own bands merch, making myself accessible and at my table for the entire evening, and afterwards play acoustic sets outside in parking lots. I did this to understand the support system people call you fans. I needed to know what I should do with the platform they helped me build.
