Double Vinyl LP

Hailing from Rome, GA — the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains — The Georgia Thunderbolts rise up with a scorching signature style steeped in soulful southern swagger. On their full-length debut, the quintet conjure a tried-and-true spirit through a fresh fire — calling on a wide swath of inspirations ranging from Southern Gospel to Hank Williams Jr., Neil Young, Little Feat, Waylon Jennings, Ray Charles and Merle Haggard to the hard rock of Ozzy Osbourne, Audioslave, Bad Company and, of course, Lynyrd Skynyrd. “Got a full tank of gas, and I’m headed down the road, no money in my pocket, destination still unknown,” they sing on the tone-setting opener, “Take It Slow.” The ’Bolts embody the blue-collar working man who has put their foot down on the accelerator towards the rock-n-roll American dream. Includes the bonus track “Better Run From The Beast.”
