Athens, Georgia, United States (2006 – present)

Dead Confederate is an alternative rock band which formed in Athens, Georgia, United States in 2006. The band consists of Hardy Morris (vocals, guitars), Walker Howle (guitar), John Watkins (keyboards), Brantley Senn (bass) and Jason Scarboro (drums). The band released their debut album, “Wrecking Ball” on September 16, 2008 on Razor & Tie and The Artists Organization. The album includes the single “The Rat”.

Though the band is pinned as producing the same kind of indie rock aesthetic à la My Morning Jacket and Band of Horses, Dead Confederate dabbles in darker shades than their compared predecessors. From the raspy, unrestrained shrieks of “The Rat” and the psychedelic guitar wail on the vivid “Tortured Artist Saint” to the intimate acoustic layers of “Memorial Day Night,” Dead Conferdate echo the Drive-By Truckers’ bittersweet southern rock angst with the smoke-heavy swagger of the Black Angels. Although southern Civil War soldiers may remain six feet under, Dead Confederate’s sincere versatility drives home that rock’n’roll is damn well alive and kicking.

i loved these guys at Bumbershoot, like the recorded album less... the pacing on the album seems different, too fast almost. also, can anyone understand what the hell this guy is saying? he doesn't finish his words! i like them a lot, just frustrated with those things.

If anyone here saw them at Bumbershoot, what song did they open with? It sounded amazing but I can't seem to find the song. Thanks!

Saw these guys supporting Dinosaur Jr in Oxford in the week.....usually don't make the effort to catch the support but they were well worth it....Has been years since I have found a new band that I latch on to as much as I have with these guys! Sound so much better live that in the recordings though.

These guys need to get found and get big, because they deserve it. This band has nothing but amazing songs with an amazing performance. Their live performance was one of the best out of 150+ bands (including Death Cab for Cutie, Modest Mouse, The Cure, and REM). It chilled to the bone actually. One of the best unknown bands out there for '09. Watch out for this band in the coming year, since they are recording this winter.
