ETTECON is a film production company that assembled a dedicated rock band
specifically for the soundtrack of The Miner’s Son (A Rock ’n’ Roll Dream). The
original soundtrack is now available on EvoVinyl, CD, digital download, and
features two official video singles to date.
Songwriter Juliette Short transformed what began as a simple dream into a fully
realised feature film. Originally a small passion project, The Miner’s Son grew in
ambition as Juliette’s creativity was fuelled by her deep-rooted love of rock ’n’
roll, punk, and metal.
She collaborated with Kevin and the Ettecon band—a group of longtime friends
spanning more than four decades, united by their shared passion for rock music.
Their collective vision was to craft songs with the unmistakable power of classic
80s rock, drawing inspiration from iconic bands such as Iron Maiden, Judas
Priest, Def Leppard, and the heavy legacy of Black Sabbath.
Kevin, who composed the majority of the soundtrack, brought his early
punk-rock influences to the forefront, adding rawness, urgency, and driving
energy to the music. The result is a dynamic collection of songs—from
heart-wrenching power ballads to fast-paced punk-inspired tracks—that reflect
the rebellious spirit of the film’s industrial-era storyline. Each track contributes
its own unique flavour to the narrative.
Now, ETTECON bring the soundtrack to life on stage with a special live
performance at Ramsgate Music Hall.
