December 1, 2013 0 comments

UPDATE 12/11: UNFORTUNATELY THIS EVENT HAS BEEN CANCELED. CLICK HERE FOR DETAILS

Finally! Chattanooga is the city where all our SouthEastern friends need to be this New Years Eve! Cancel any plans you’ve have and join us December 31st to ring in 2014 with a FREE concert featuring HOUNDMOUTH and THE WEEKS!

This is all taking place downtown at Chattanooga Whiskey’s first annual New Years Eve Barrel Drop, located at Center Park and the 700 block of Market Street. Admission is totally free to the 21+ public and includes an evening of live music, cash bars and heated tent areas. Local rockers Eight Knives and DJs Toneharm are also on the bill to kick-start the evening. For more details, go to Barrel Drop’s official website HERE.

If you are no stranger to The South Rail, then you are more than familiar with the 2 featured acts. If not, well get that way:

Houndmouth are wrapping up one hell of a year. On top of several national TV appearances including Conan, Letterman and CBS This Morning, the New Albany/Louisville 4-piece have recently toured with Alabama Shakes and just wrapped up their recent tour with several sold out shows including New York City and 2 back-to-back shows in Louisville, KY where they performed with My Morning Jacket’s Jim James!

The Weeks are closing 2013 on a high note as well with a year of non-stop touring supporting their new album ‘Dear Bo Jackson.’ The Mississippi boys (now via Nashville) also spent a couple mouths overseas touring the UK opening for Kings of Leon, and wrapped up their their year playing 2 back-to-back sold out shows in Nashville just last week.

See below for best of videos from both bands and see you December 31st!

Those Darlins: ‘Blur the Line’

October 2, 2013 0 comments

Yesterday marked the release date for our pals Those Darlins‘ new LP ‘Blur the Line,’ a record we have been eagerly awaiting for the past year… And a wait that was well worth it if we might add. This is the follow-up to 2011’s ‘Screws Get Loose,’ and the first record from the band NOT to feature founding member Kelley Anderson, who has been replaced by Atlanta’s Adrian Barrera of Barreracudas and Gentleman Jesse & His Men.

Regardless of band history, Those Darlins continue to top themselves with ‘Blur the Line,’ keeping themselves fresh while growing as artists, but at the same time giving a friendly nod to their previous 2 full-lengths, with sprinkles and dashes of the Darlins we have grown to love — Killer up-beat tracks such as ‘Optimist’ and ‘In the Wilderness,’ and equally killer tracks ‘Oh God’ and ‘Too Slow,’ that slows things down at those perfect moments.

Check out a few tracks and live takes from ‘Blur the Line’ below and pick up the new LP HERE… or in-person this Saturday! Those Darlins return to Chattanooga October 5th at JJ’s Bohemia! Tickets are $10 and are available HERE (or at the door night of the show)… See you there!:

GET TO KNOW: Behold the Brave

January 31, 2013 0 comments

We finally had time to catch-up on all the records from last year (that were on our list) when putting together our top albums of 2012 this month. And we were floored once we got a hold of Behold the Brave‘s debut full-length “The Great American Challenge.”

Both the band and ourselves are from the great city of Chattanooga, so we’ve caught them live a fair share of times the past years, everytime, getting better and better at their craft. But with this new record that dropped in November, the boys definitely have taken it to the next level! Check out a couple key tracks from the LP below, as well as some pretty cool ‘making of’ videos of the band in Atlanta recording with producer Matt Goldman (Underoath, The Chariot, As Cities Burn).

Dig it? Well, catch Behold the Brave THIS FRIDAY (2/1) at JJ’s Bohemia. They’ll be headlining a local showcase featuring them and 3 other Chattanooga bands all for $5 — This happens at 9pm, right after the free early show at JJ’s Bohemia featuring Nashville’s Western Medication. For details on the early show click here — And of course, download The Great American Challenge” HERE!
