Dexateens - New Video + Tour Dates + MP3


[MP3]
Dexateens - "Down Low"

Tuscaloosa, Alabama's the Dexateens prepare to release their debut album, Singlewide, dropping May 12 on Skybucket/Cornelius Chapel Records. These 'Bama boys conjure images of jangling Kinks, with Ray Davies-esque, nasal-lead, scratchy vocals and hooky choruses. 2:57 running time, "Down Load" bounces along, only after a slow start, but picks up speed with that Traveling Wilburys sound; i.e.hard-strumming, layered-acoustic patterns. It's definitely a good start for this down low band, from down south.

Check out tour dates with The Features and Those Darlins after the jump.

Great band! But this is actually their fifth album (S/T, Red Dust Rising, Hardwire Healing, Lost and Found which is available for free download and now Single Wide, there's also an EP called Teenager) and not their debut... Cheers!
