SXSW 2012 is over. Head to the SXSW 2014 Schedule!
From Doug Freeman, The Austin Chronicle:
Behind a throbbing darkwave pummel, Dead Confederate rolled out from the dusk-drenched trenches of Athens, Ga., with a feedback-laced spin on Southern rock. 2008's Wrecking Ball (Razor & Tie) and 2010's Sugar (TAO) both brandished psych-rock with a melodic lyricism, and though the quartet's members have since pursued a number of side projects (including frontman Hardy Morris' supercollaboration, Diamond Rugs), the band returns label-free with a new collection of songs.
