Today, Punknews is pleased to debut the new song by 8 Inch Betsy.
“Arise” is a drive, classic punk number, with slight hints of band like The Avengers, The Distillers, and Joan Jett. Unfortunately, the song comes in the wake of the death of 35-year-old frontwoman Meghan Galbraith. Bassist Eli Burke spoke to Punknews about the track. READ MORE…
Atlanta alt-country revivalists the Quaildogs harken back to the genre’s heyday with their jangly, freewheeling rock’n’roll tunes. The comrades have fine-tuned their twang with a trio of EPs and are preparing to release their first full-length album The Getting Old Factory later this month.
The collection was recorded intermittently at Atlanta’s Glow in the Dark Studios back in 2014, and the obstacles that arose during the process are reflected in the album’s primary theme. “The idea that if you’re a well-intentioned, hard-working person, you can make good in this world doesn’t necessarily exist anymore,” multi-instrumentalist member Michael Barnhart explains in a statement.

Atlanta sextet Quaildogs are releasing their debut album The Getting Old Factory next week, so we thought you should hear from them now. The alt country rockers shared their track “Funnel Cloud” with us – it’s a rambling, open-prairie operatic, about how sometimes nothing goes your way, except maybe a tornado. As the storm bears down, the intensity of the song grows, easy arpeggio gives way to screaming electric solo, country fiddle crashes with drums, a piano joins in, until a rocking chorus clangs behind the ambivalent refrain, “. . . something goes my way”.

Quaildogs breathe life into a distinctive brand of alt-country that recalls the genre’s heyday as a potent ’90s niche, while at the same time reveling in classic, freewheeling rock & roll. Having managed to keep together a steady and unfaltering six-piece lineup since their 2011 inception, the band has developed a unique camaraderie and sound that has earned them opening slots for a diverse set of acts including The Handsome Family, Futurebirds, The Wood Brothers, Moon Taxi, Roadkill Ghost Choir and the Dirty Dozen Brass Band—and all this before having released a proper full-length debut.

Atlanta’s Sydney Eloise & The Palms are gearing up for the release of their debut full-length Face,a collection of 12 songs written over the course of four years. In anticipation of the release, the band has shared album track “Gentleman.”
“I kept this one in my back pocket for a while—actually wrote it three years ago when I was in Las Vegas,” says Eloise. “It was the last night of the trip and the song came to me like a hurricane. I remember feeling like I’d found my authentic self and I was finally ready to talk. It all came together in 20 minutes, and I felt this sense of release I’ve only felt a handful of times while writing.” READ MORE…
