Sounds Like Rough and raunchy garage roots-rock meets blues-funk and punk-country, Chapel Hill, NC's Memphis the Band conveys a wide range of stories and emotions based on Southern life and good times. Adding in dashes of folk, jazz, rockabilly and psychedelic, they play gut bucket thump and twang - ragged beauty with a rough-hewn soul side.

album coverMEMPHIS THE BAND: Radio

Scott Morgan, lead singer of Memphis the Band, has a voice pitched somewhere between the southern-rock inflection of Black Crows front man Chris Robinson and the R&B swagger of Mick Jagger. But once you've got used to this, the spit-and-sawdust roots-flavoured garage rock that the five-piece have been honing since their inception in 1998 starts to whip up a storm. In fact, the group's fourth album sounds like one hell of a Saturday night at their local juke-joint down in Chapel Hill, North Carolina..
