Houndmouth: New Songs Live from Chattanooga!

August 1, 2012 0 comments

We LOVE us some Houndmouth, who instantly became one of our favorite bands just earlier this year. And we were more than excited when the band announced their signing to Rough Trade Records later last month… Via their new label, the band will be releasing a 4-song self-titled EP pressed on 12″ vinyl this month that will be followed later on by a full-length LP.

You may be familiar with the main songs on the upcoming EP by now from our January article, but while this 4-piece were in Chattanooga opening for Those Darlins at the Chattanooga Whiskey party held at Track 29 on June 2nd, we got a little taste of what possibly could be future LP songs! We are not 100% of what the final titles will be, but at the time of this article, the new songs are ‘On The Road’ and ‘Comin’ Around Again.’

So just sit back and enjoy these 2 new live tracks below!… and pre-order Houndmouth’s debut EP HERE which drops August 21st in the U.S:

 

If you’re not familiar with Houndmouth, get that way. Here are some already classic-to-our-ears tunes you need to know (and are featured on the new EP):

We would like to thank Track 29, the amazing bands, Joshua Shoemaker, High Class Hillbilly and everyone who came out to our very first The South Rail Presents! The show was a great success and we can’t wait to do it all again!

Many people asked us about the music playing before and between the bands’ sets. Here is the full playlist from Friday night’s hand selected tunes. Hopefully you not only enjoyed amazing live music and scored some killer gear from Nikki Lane’s High Class Hillbilly, but discovered additional bands you will see and support in the future.
