Shannon Hauppa returns with “Tired Of / Draw the Line”, a dynamic dual-track release that marks a defining new chapter for The Raspberry Jams. As the first new material since the band’s acclaimed 2024 debut album, this release isn’t just a continuation; it’s a reinvention with the addition of third member Zola Bieganski and their first-ever studio session alongside engineer Slavic Livins and producer Chris Schneider Hauppa, which ushers in a richer, more expansive version of the Jams’ sound.
Tired Of—recorded entirely by the band—captures the raw DIY spirit that fans fell in love with from the beginning. Its message is unmistakably timely, sparked by the tension and turmoil of the current political climate.
But the track goes deeper than commentary; Hauppa’s songwriting reflects the exhaustion of trying to meet society’s expectations while navigating the noise of everyday life.
The vocals burn with honesty, while the instrumental layers carry that signature Raspberry Jams warmth—unpolished, emotive, and strikingly human.
Then comes Draw the Line, the band’s first fully studio-born creation, and the difference is electrifying. Livins and Schneider elevate Hauppa’s vision without sanding down its edges. The production is fuller, the dynamics sharper, and the presence of Bieganski feels instantly essential. What began as an intimate two-woman project now blossoms into a three-piece force with remarkable chemistry.
The track still carries the unmistakable Raspberry Jams DNA melodic vulnerability, gritty undertones, and introspective urgency—but now with a heightened clarity and ambition that signals real evolution.
Together, these songs form a powerful statement: Shannon Hauppa and The Raspberry Jams are expanding, experimenting, and stepping confidently into their next era.
“Tired Of / Draw the Line” proves that growth doesn’t mean losing your roots; it means learning how to amplify them.
