"The Dead South have been described as outlaws, modern hillbillies and Mumford and Sons' evil twins, but the best way to describe the Regina-based band is fearless. They're a rare musical commodity - a band that's equally compelling on record as they are on stage.
While The Dead South's signature blend of bluegrass and classic folk is familiar, it's also eminently fresh; fuelled by the kind of energy and ethic you'd associate with a punk band."
