I can tell you right now the new album from Atlanta/Birmingham rockers Lee Bains III & The Glory Fires is going to be one of my albums of the summer.
Youth Detention /// (Nail My Feet Down To The Southside Of Town) is perfect mix of the sweet twang of Whiskeytown, the southern drive of Drivin’ n’ Cryin’, and punk of The Replacements.
The 17 (yes 17) songs on this record are straight out of a southern rock and roll church.
You can order it here from Don Giovanni Records.
