| Arguably the most sonically powerful act in the burgeoning psychedelia- dosed scene in Atlanta,GA, Dead Confederate may represent a harbinger of a new rise of psychedelic rock. The South has produced some of the most eclectic rock 'n' roll ever recorded; James Brown, Stax Records, Allman Brothers and R.E.M. are all products of the mysticism of the South, and Dead Confederate is one of the first southern bands to pull southern rock into the realm of modern music. Formed in August, 2006 by 5 musicians originally from Augusta, GA - the band has come up with an interesting hybrid that mixes in the experimental side of Sonic Youth and Radiohead with the musical side of Neil Young and Nirvana. Songs like, "The News Underneath" and "Shadow The Walls," pack a sonic wallop that conjures up memories of Pink Floyd in 1972 if played by Radiohead today. Strong instrumental prowess serves the songs without overwhelming them, while direct, heartfelt lyrics pull you further into the vibe. The band members have a keen sense of when to play for the song and when to let go, as both elements are necessary to produce an exciting live show, and an interesting record. This is exactly the type of attitude that will take Dead Confederate far beyond the Mason Dixon line. "We really are interested in the sonic explorations of bands like Radiohead or Sigur Ros while still focusing on writing good songs with strong melodies. "They did a review of us in Creative Loafing where the guy said that 'Southern music does not begin and end with Duane Allman,' and he's right. And that's what we're out to prove." |
