Independent Country
Independent Country are six cowboys from Birmingham (UK) who take Indie classics on a rollicking ride to Nashville and back.
Floppy fringes and baggy jeans are binned for pedal steel guitars and four-part harmonies as the NME meets The Grand Ole Opry. You ain't never heard nothing like this! 2025 is shaping up to be a big year for the band with sets at prestigious festivals Shiine On Weekender, Bearded Theory, Ryland Caravan and Moseley Folk Festival coming up in the summer plus more dates being added around the country. They expect to release new EPs and an album this year too.
Their debut LP, "TrailerParkLife", was released in December 2016 and featured new versions of songs by The Stone Roses, Happy Mondays, New Order, Teenage Fanclub, and others. Jim Reid from The Jesus & Mary Chain described their version of 'Blues from a Gun' as 'the best thing I have EVER heard'.
Walter Mitty's Head
Walter Mitty's Head from East Lancashire form the second part of this Tuff Life Boogie Americana special, and mine 50s rockabilly and 60s garage beat for their inspiration.
Anyone who caught their barn-storming set at The Ferret supporting the Primevals in February will know that this band are a force to be reckoned with and not to be missed.
