Psychedelic swamp rock from Richmond, Virginia
Single & James Gang cover "The Devil Is Singing Our Song" released June 20 (Digital)
Genres: Swamp rock, heavy psych, blues, doom
The brainchild of guitarist Walter Gray, Mister Earthbound originally emerged after its founder returned to his hometown of Richmond, Virginia in 2016 armed with a pocket full of riffs and a drive to hit the road with a new project. Named as a homage to Napoleon Hill's book "Outwit The Devil", the quartet rapidly established themselves in their region and beyond as pioneers of a new breed of swamp rock, and have been captivating a diverse and growing fanbase ever since.
Building on the foundations laid by influences from the trippy tones of the 13th Floor Elevators and the raucous early days of Pentagram to the eerie blues of Robert Johnson with a psychedelic, doom-tinged approach, Mister Earthbound’s signature blend of searing riffs, haunting vocals, and driving rhythms transports audiences to the depths of the swamp both through their studio recordings and their electric live shows alongside sonic titans like Dead Meadow, Kadavar, Weedeater, YOB, and Black Mountain.
ABOUT THE TRACK:
The next chapter in the Mister Earthbound story begins with a cover of the legendary James Gang and their track "The Devil Is Singing Our Song", off the classic "Bang" album. Putting their own spin on the tune while staying true to its old school roots, the band give it a tasteful dose of heavy with soulful, bluesy vocals and firey guitar leads, honoring their forefathers while carrying the rock 'n roll torch into the swamps of the future.
WHAT'S NEXT:
With a host of achievements already under their belt, including the release of their debut record "Shadow Work" via Kozmik Artifactz and a feature in Embassy Skateboards' "Winter Warriors", Mister Earthbound's momentum is at an all-time high as they prepare for their biggest undertaking yet: releasing a series of EPs, each set to launch on a seasonal solstice or equinox starting winter 2024, and intended to be compiled into a full-length record the following year
