      You saw him well before most of us. Our little Athens GA PR firm signed them on in December of 2013 and were able to elevate their exposure through a college and NPR radio campaign. People either loved or hated their sound, the majority of course, loving it. My only moment with Paul was sitting and having dinner with him at the now defunct Branded Butcher restaurant before a show at the Georgia Theater in Athens GA as we sat down with a group from the Grammy's & Recording Academy Atlanta office, including amazingly sharp Michele Caplinger.. ANyway, I ramble but was glad to see your post. They're just So good, and had a terrific show at the Georgia Theater. ..I miss them, as they are now a 'previous' client of our little PR firm Team Clermont. They moved on to a bigger firm and we respect them for that. loving seeing the success. congrats.

    The song "It's Midnight" reminds me of those ole country juke joints we used to go to back in the day. They were deep in the woods and it would be hot with no air, no liquor license but a bootlegger on staff (usually the owner...lol), full of beer a jar each of pickled pigs feet, pickled eggs, hot pickled sausage along with sweat, funk and some sho-nuff partyin'! Wow!

    I'm gonna be honest I've always aligned myself with metal music, but it hasn't been giving me "that feeling" anymore. However, this right here is giving me "that feeling" I haven't felt in years. I'm buying their album as we speak.

      Although your comment is 5 years old I gotta answer to that because it's so exactly how it's for me. Metal music except for some exceptions just doesn't give me that feeling it used to anymore. But these guys... damn

      No one music genre is ever gonna give "that feeling" forever unless you're musically close minded. Ive been on a 4 almost 5 year music journey (aye about the same time as you probably) and im listening to just about everything now. Metal is where is started for me too.

      I second this about Marcus King...I used to be one of those people that only listened to a few bands in a single genre.....now I listen to EVERYTHING I find on KEXP, Tiny Desk, Mahogany, a few other great channels, I love it! Rap? Great! Metal? Great! Experimental folk? Awesome! Bring it all....found Aldous Harding, the Idles, King Gizz, Alabama shakes (and Brittany Howard!), sylvan esso, amyl n the sniffers, greta van fleet, rival sons, Tom Mcdonald, hobo johnson... soooo many others this way!

    The guitarist, Browan Lollar, was the guitarist for Jason Isbell's 400 Unit. The keyboardist, Al Gamble, is the brother of Chad Gamble, the drummer who absolutely beats the shit out of those skins for the 400 Unit. It's that Muscle Shoals sound I grew up with in the 70's and I love it.

Before, I had seen posters for them all over the bar. Anyhow, I walk in and told them "Man! this band is pretty fucking good!". Here's the sad part.

    Just saw them in Greenville, SC at "Fall for Greenville". I was anticipating seeing and hearing them and I was NOT disappointed. They are fantastic. I highly encourage anyone to go to their concert. You will have a great time and you will be dancing even if you don't dance. You just can't help it. Their music moves your spirit and soul. Worth your time and expense. What you experience is Paul's passion oozing out of his music and the group follows suit. As a disclaimer, I am not getting paid to say this. Get their schedule and try to see and hear them.

    This is no imitation. This is real blues. Maybe it has remained in the domain of black people long enough but now we see that the influence of this sound can make anybody come out and play this music and play it well. I am enjoying it immensely.

    I like to think Otis Redding possessed the body of the dorkiest guy he could possibly find just to troll us all.

      +Edward Cullen Hey man I agree, I'm not the greatest looking and the shock value of the voice that comes outta that white nerd is amazing. He's awesome. TinyDesk gave good advice when they said listen to them at first without looking, it makes seeing their vocalist really fun :P
