Dead Confederate began in 2004 as the jam-centric Augusta, Georgia USA,
act Redbelly, which became The Redbelly Band. Two years later, the band
changed its name and sound, switching from open-ended arrangements to
a darker, more concise style of songwriting. The band consisted of vocalist
+ guitarist Hardy Morris, guitarist Walker Howle, keyboardist John Watkins,
bassist + principal songwriter Brantley Senn and drummer Jason Scarboro.
Dead Confederate mined a mix of haunting Southern-Rock and angst-driven
Grunge on "Wrecking Ball", the band's debut album, which was
issued in September 2008 through the New York-based Razor & Tie Entertainment.
The disc included the Hot Modern Rock top 40 hit single "The Rat".
Coming off of the success of this song as well as a network television
debut under their belt, the quintet return with "Sugar". With
countless tours across the world with the likes of Dinosaur
Jr., The Whigs, Manchester
Orchestra, Meat Puppets and more,
the band is ready for their first true album to reach the masses at the
end of the summer 2010. They have selected "Giving It All Away"
as the first single off their new record.
