*shakes fists at the sky, falls to knees, frowns deeply* they should be at bonnaroo this year, but…they’re not. *a single tear falls*

Ben Tanner of Alabama Shakes and The Bear, John Paul White of the Civil Wars (DIY band of 2012), and financial advisor, Shoals native, and friend Will Trapp, are bringing some of that anti-Old Guard attitude to our community with their indie label, Single Lock Records.

Listening to Dermot O’Leary’s radio 2 show, well parts of it anyway, and apparently The Civil Wars STILL AREN’T TALKING. How are they even releasing an album?? I’m glad they are but the idea of them not talking to each other at all is really weird to me. They got on so well. Everything was so vague when they cancelled their last tour that it’s hard to even know why. I wish they would at least say the reason and not be so cryptic. It’s bound to get asked about in interviews so they might as well just say now so they don’t get asked about it in their separate interviews.
Ah, I know. August needs to get here noooooow.
