There’s so much that’s just said in the name of this band, and the name of this song, before you even get to the video: the fierce and shaky camera work, the half punk, half bluegrass sound, the lyrics that are driving towards something new and perfect and familiar. It’s driving and mesmerizing and holy Lord, I want that orange pick up truck. This is my anthem for this year, loud and full of battering banjos and snare drums and fuck you lyrics. The escape of this video is what I want in my life. VIEW HERE

The band’s debut LP Love Wars Baby is set for release on Friday, and the unconventional release date celebrates the collaborations beginnings. It wasn’t long ago that the District Attorneys were invited to play a Valentine’s Day Show with Athens band Ponderosa, but with half their members unavailable (Oh, to be unavailable on Feb. 14, right?), they improvised and wound up on stage with Tedo Stone and friends. District Attorneys frontman Drew Beskin provided the songs, which included more personal compositions he’d penned. READ MORE

Atlanta band The Wild came into being thanks to frontman Witt Wisebram, whose solo work as a folk musician evolved into the five-piece that performs as The Wild today. Their latest LP, Dreams Are Maps, is an impressive indicator of how the band has continued to change things up musically while staying true to the sound that first brought them together.

Dreams Are Maps was recorded by Laura Jane Grace (Against Me!) at her Florida studio, and the band considers it to be a memorial for friend Anthony Poynter, who toured with the band often and died of cancer last year.  WATCH HERE
