I’m really digging Dead Confederate’s new album Wrecking Ball. The Georgia-based band’s dark and haunting music has elements of Grunge, Alt. Country, Punk and Psychedelic Rock. Lead-singer Hardy Morris’s raw, howling vocals on “Heavy Petting” are reminiscent of Kurt Cobain’s on “Scentless Apprentice“.

The band has generated well-deserved buzz. They opened up for REM at this year’s SXSW and were recently named one of “Fricke’s Picks” by Rolling Stone journalist David Fricke.

These guys have tremendous upside. You can catch them @ Spaceland 11/14 (More Info). I hear that they put on an amazing live show.
