By: Caryn Robbins Oct. 06, 2017
Mississippi-via-Nashville longhairs The Weeks debut their video for "Bottle Rocket," taken from their acclaimed new album Easy, today via Baeble-watch it here. The video features cameos from their friends and Nashville rock scene contemporaries Diarrhea Planet, Rayland Baxter, The Lonely Biscuits, Okey Dokey, Birdcloud and H.A.R.D.
The Weeks kick off a North American headline tour tonight at The Revelry Room in Chattanooga, TN, with further stops in New York, Boston, D.C., Philadelphia and more. See full tour details below.
The Weeks recorded Easy over the course of two weeks at Memphis, TN's Ardent Studios with producer Paul Ebersold, leaving Nashville to disassociate themselves from their everyday routines in the city, and to find a halfway point between Mississippi and Nashville.
Thematically, Easy explores new ground for the band. Bassist Damien Bone explains, "We just wanted to make a rock record. We weren't as concerned making it a southern rock record. The southern thing is always going to part of what we do."
The Weeks is twin brothers Cyle (vocals) and Cain Barnes (drums), Sam Williams (guitar/vocals) and Damien Bone (bass). Formed when its members were in high school in Jackson, Mississippi, the band self-released its debut EP Dog Days in 2006. More than ten years and a handful of critically acclaimed albums later, the band has relocated to Nashville and toured extensively worldwide with Kings of Leon, The Meat Puppets, North Mississippi Allstars, Local H and many more.
