Taking his cues from the greats such as Merle Haggard right through to southern rocking legends like the Drive-By Truckers, Patrick Kinsey & A Fistful Of Dollars play outlaw folk and country that is shot through with a raw, burning integrity.

These are blue collar stories of truck drivers and bartenders, too much whiskey and too little luck, bad choices and good intentions, hopeful long odds and hopeless shortcomings. Everything is there as a tale to be told and while lessons might not be learned, the human spirit flickers and burns  throughout.

Good thing the scenery’s nice, ’cause there’s a bit of listless meandering through deserts and pensive window gazing here, which pairs nicely with the track’s organic, soft-stomp folk. Faultlines will appear on Field Division’s debut EP, Reverie State, out October 28. Until then, watch the video below, and maybe plan a trip somewhere.

Levi Parham leaned on his deep catalog for his upcoming album, Avalon Drive. One of the standout tracks is “Never Coming Home to Me,” written during a complicated time in his personal life and then tucked away until producer Nathan James Dohse encouraged him to bring it back.

Psych outfit CHALAXY has just dropped a new single titled “Dizzy” that we’re stoked to be premiering ahead of it’s official release tomorrow via the band’s Bandcamp and other digital outlets.  CHALAXY tells us the single is just a taste of what lies ahead with a new album expected out this fall.  The band describes themselves as “Electronic/Alternative/Psychedelic Rock”, and the new single perfectly embodies that vibe with it’s drippy, blurry guitars and vocals effects that will immediately enamor fans of  Tame Impala or My Morning Jacket.  It represents a turning point for the band, and a direction that we are excited to watch them explore.

Miss Lauren Pratt is set to premiere her the video for the lead track “Days Like Tonight” with Southern Manners.

Influenced by artists such as Nathaniel Rateliff and Alison Krauss, the Florida native has compiled seven tracks for her debut effort which was produced by Nick Bullock.

Regarding the EP, Pratt says “I’m glad I’ve had time to live with the songs I wrote going into and leaving my early twenties. They are almost all exclusively about difficulties in life – not exactly a polka-dancing subject, but you have to have darkness to fully appreciate light.”

Pratt is self-taught, musically speaking, as she first started on piano and taught herself guitar while she took to folk songwriting at an early age. In college, Pratt prepared her voice with classical training which lead to a brief stint in the world of opera.

A traveler of the South, Pratt has spent time in Florida, Nashville and her college days in the Mississippi Delta where she crafted her songwriting skills.

“When I started working with [producer] Nathan [Dohse], I started making demos of a bunch of different songs to see what stuck,” Parham says. “Nathan immediately brought “Never Coming Home to Me” out of the pile, and we started breathing new life into it.”

“Days Like Tonight” is the title track on Pratt’s forthcoming 7-song EP of the same name, which was produced by Nick Bullock and is set for release on May 26.
