The Weeks to headline Hare & Hounds

The Weeks are an indie rock band from Mississippi whose cathartic output of songs stems from the same root: their geography and disadvantaged youth. The sound of wind through the pines, bare feet brushing through leaves, snapping sticks like the spines of the weak. When The Weeks started they were small and strong at heart, five southern souls damned to speak the truth. But with this responsibility comes pain and loss.

This did not stop these brave soldiers of thought, keepers of truth. They were older now and their soft footsteps through the forest had grown louder and stronger. Like the dust filled hoof beats of a thousand wild horses, they layer sound like musket fire, their melodies bend and twist like train-tracks. A music shaped from the calloused hands and wrinkled faces of their fathers. They have walked through the fire wide-eyed and crazy, and came out enlightened. You cannot stop these men, your armies can’t cease their hands, dampen this thunder, or silence their tongues. They have trudged through the muddy swamps to freedom.

“While retaining their pop sensibility, the influence of country and soul shine through… their most ambitious and polished record to date” – You Hear This

Signed to Kings of Leon new boutique imprint Serpents and Snakes, The Weeks’ new album Dear Bo Jackson is available to buy now viaiTunes.
