Athens, GA rockers Dead Confederate burst onto the scene with their self-titled EP in late 2007 and an opening spot for R.E.M. at 2008's SXSW. Their 2008 debut full length album, WRECKING BALL, received innumerable raves from tastemakers and press alike, including Rolling Stone's "Bands to Watch" and glowing reviews from NPR, SPIN, New York Times, etc. The band made their US television debut on Late Night with Conan O'Brien with their first single "The Rat." Dead Confederate has toured with Manchester Orchestra, The Whigs, Dinosaur Jr. and Drive-By Truckers to name a few. Dead Confederate continues to tour this Fall (dates below). Look for new music in 2010!

"a raw howling take that recalls the darkest moments of nineties grunge." Rolling Stone

"...atmospheric...sorrowful, searing and Southern virtually in all the right ways." Spin Magazine

"the seductive blend of country-fried guitar tones and steel-mimicking wails...Morris lacerates his vocal cords that glues it all together so powerfully." Pitchfork

"Wrecking Ball sounds like Bleach-era Nirvana covering My Morning Jacket...Dead Confederate's alt-country/grunge hybrid doesn't just feel like a compelling debut, it feels like a compelling new genre." The Onion

"Dead Confederate's wall of sound feels cinematic and atmospheric, loud and beautiful." NPR

"A hairy American Radiohead." The UK Telegraph
