If you’re looking for some new southern rock n roll then might just be the band you’ve been looking for. They just released their latest endeavor Origins on July 13, 2018. The new recording is comprised of 11 tracks, eight of which come from previous EPs and three new creations. Origins combines their greatest hits with a punch of new from this foursome from Cullman, Alabama.

Their southern roots shine throughout the entire collection starting with the intro “Crutch”, one of the new tunes. This one starts out slow and builds into a banger. “Rebel” is off the EP One. It is a very catchy tune, which has garnered radio airplay for the band. “My Addiction” is my favorite with some heavy rhythms pounding from Heath Fields on drums.

“Crazy” slows things down and really highlights the vocals and passion that Eric Boatright brings to each of his songs. “Try to Fight It” shows off the talents of Matt Daniels and Seth Trimble who have the duties of strings for the band. This song really talks to each and everyone of us who have gone through a painful relationship and know that we shouldn’t continue with it. The lyrics are intense and relatable.

The next two “Stand Up” and “We Won’t Die” have the similar inspirational themes of never giving up. The final three songs slow things to a softer, purely passionate level with “Home Today”, “Try to Fight It” and “Out of Reach” all off the 2012 EP Home Today. The band released their first EP in 2012 and has collected accolades from Loudwire as their Best New Artist in 2016. If you like Shaman’s Harvest, Saving Abel or 3 Doors Down, you will likely enjoy the tunes of .

Heavy and Metal have been my preferred genre as long as I can remember. Lucky for me I live in the LA area where lots of bands start their career playing at such world famous venues as the Whiskey and the Roxy. I often visit those venues to check out new and sometimes not so new bands. I have been known to travel to festivals all over the US to spend time with my rock and roll family. Music is my addiction and I will go far and often to get my fix.
