Album Notes Hailing from Georgia, Dead Confederate blend country rock, grunge, and psychedelic flourishes into a unique brew that is heady and earthy at once. Building on the promise of their debut EP, the full-length WRECKING BALL, released in 2008, unveils the band's hauntingly expansive sound in all its glory. From the moody, spectral slink of "The Rat" to the hard guitar thrash of "Start Me Laughing," Dead Confederate update 1960s garage psych, `70s classic rock, and angsty `90s alternative for a sound that pushes all the right buttons.
Editorial Reviews 3.5 stars out of 5 -- Dead Confederate play exactly the kind of music a band called Dead Confederate should -- sluggish, sorrowful, searing, and Southern in virtually all the right ways.Magnet (p.102) - WRECKING BALL is a lumbering, angst-driven assault that's simultaneously ear-splitting and as comfortable as an old flannel shirt.Blender (Magazine) (p.73) - 3.5 stars out of 5 -- [T]heir music springs from the grunge era: quiet-loud-quiet structures, atomic drums and rich guitar dirges as dirty as a rut road and doused with space dust.
