Dead Confederate - Wrecking Ball

After the success of their Spring tour with A Place To Bury Strangers and recent shows supporting Dinosaur Jr on a run of UK/European dates, mind-blowing psych-rock five piece Dead Confederate release their incredible debut album. Entitled Wrecking Ball, it will finally be unleashed over here on November 9th 2009 through Kartel. Lead track, The Rat will also be released as a single a week earlier, on November 2nd 2009.

Atlanta, Georgia 2006 and a local five-piece consisting of friends tight since their school days are sick of being local. They're sick of coasting. Sick of the jobs that barely keep them in guitar strings and barely cover their graduate debts. Sick of being little more than a jam band. So they take decisive action. They move to Athens, Georgia, they change their name, grow an exotic range of facial hair and they get serious. Dead serious.

Within eighteen months the newly-named Dead Confederate had found their voice via the new clutch music by songwriters Hardy Morris and Brantley Senn - a stirring combination of searing alt-rock with traces of timeless Americana and the darkest of country and heaviest of psychedelia buried in there too. They had built a fresh fan base from scratch and experienced that lucky break that can so often be the difference between greatness and obscurity.
