Artist's Biography
USA
4 piece Hush Money are pleased to release their new darkly tinged swinging
new single ‘Bad Side’, from the new album ‘Go Back Home’ a veritable
jambalaya of southern drenched flavours born from a myriad of influences
that will appeal to a wide palette making the band hard to pigeon hole.
“‘Bad Side’ is the story of a man pushed to the breaking point and set to
administer his own form of backwoods justice. In a way we’re giving our
autobiography to all but in a way we can express it best with references to
the southern Appalachian region and culture and hopefully some wisdom that
we’ve learnt along the way.” The 13 track collection is available now on
CD/vinyl direct from the band HERE, being the only way to hear the album as
originally intended with a raft of singles to be released digitally over a
period of time. “‘Go Back Home’ is a glimpse into the psyche that makes Hush
Money who we are. We had things that needed to be said and to set the record
straight about who we are as people and the values we hold dear. It’s
riddled with lyrical representations of the experiences that we’ve had on
our journey which we’re everyone can relate to.” Delving in further the band
muses “There’s songs of redemption, family, love lost and found, humour in
hardship, and hope through the darkest times. It’s a tapestry of our take on
traditional feeling good music and storytelling that has been brought to
life from the deep south for many decades.”
The sonic diversity spooned from a large skillet of influences demonstrates
that the band are no one-trick show horse and provides the listener with a
body of work to suit a wide range of times and emotions. The album was
recorded in live takes, capturing the essence of the band at LedBelly Sound
Studio in Georgia, and produced by Matt Washburn (Mastodon, Norma Jean) and
are taking a different approach to its release. “You may notice that the
full album isn't on streaming sites. We thought long and hard on that, took
some advice and we’ll be releasing tracks individually. Music is so
disposable nowadays, we want to have the album heard in full like days gone
by giving it more longevity, in turn curating a catalogue digitally, and
buying direct from an independent band like us helps us out a heap.”
Starting from humble beginnings, hailing from Georgia in the foothills of
the southern Appalachians, the band consists of brothers Seth Weaver
(vocals/guitar) and Greg Weaver (vocals/drums), Caleb Logan (vocals/guitar)
and Nathaniel Newberry (bass). Being notably led by three vocalists this
sets them apart in their performances and provides contrast to amplify the
mood of each song. Their previous releases have reached audiences not only
in the US but also throughout the UK having quickly risen from playing local
small town bars to venturing overseas to tour there to rave reviews in 2024
including to a rapturous ovation at the esteemed Call of The Wild festival.
“We’re here to show others there is no shame in being proud of who you are,
where you come from, the experiences you've had, and the values you were
raised with.” There’s nothing quiet about who Hush Money believes that they
are and they wish to share that with all. “Be you, be proud of who you are,
and celebrate the people and places that made you the person you are. We’re
proud of this work, it is a true representation of who we are as musicians
and people.”
