One moment. One perfect performance.
In the world of Sound Bound, music shapes reality. The biggest performers are global idols. Bands battle for influence, control, and the spotlight.
MAINSTAGE — perfection, discipline, the gold standard. When a rival attack kills their drummer, an unknown named Muse steps from the crowd. One impossible performance. Overnight sensation.
Now both MAINSTAGE and BACKBEAT fight to claim him. Raw talent or discipline — Muse must choose.
The story in progress.
From sketch to final page.

Who's behind it.
CREATOR · DRUMMER · SOUND ENGINEER
Caleb White
Drummer, studio owner (Muse Studio, Kansas City), former live sound engineer running shows for Tool, Jimmy Eat World, and Rob Zombie. Sound Bound was born from a simple idea: an underperforming drummer chasing one impossible opportunity.
This isn't a comic about bands. It's about the moment talent stops being enough.
"Sound Bound is my way of turning a lifelong passion into something others can feel too."
— CALEB WHITE
ILLUSTRATOR · INDONESIA
Nedodenedo
Illustrator with a distinctive style — dense atmosphere, dynamic panels, manga and webtoon influence. Previous work: Fallen One, Black Blood. Energetic, yet sensitive.
