The Georgia Thunderbolts release a new track – Can I Get A Witness is off their forthcoming, full-length debut album set for release on 15th October on the Mascot Records/Mascot Label Group.
| The song represents “overcoming the obstacles in life,” vocalist TJ Lyle explains. “Everybody has their ups and downs, but it’s how you persevere and prosper through adversity that shows your true colors. Can I Get A Witness is a statement that goes out to anyone who has the desire and faith in themselves and others to be successful.” And here it is: |
| Hailing from Rome, GA at the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains, The Georgia Thunderbolts’ debut album features their scorching signature style steeped in soulful southern swagger, blistering blues, and raw rock. With a wide swath of inspirations, ranging from southern gospel and Hank Williams to Merle Haggard, Neil Young, Little Feat, Ozzy Osbourne, and Lynyrd Skynyrd, the band cut their teeth performing with everyone from The Allman Betts Band, and Blackberry Smoke to Kentucky Headhunters & Black Stone Cherry. Shortly after, they hit the iconic Barrick Recording Studio in Glasgow, KY to record with producer Richard Young. |
| The resulting album comprises thirteen anthems steeped in anthemic riffs, wild harmonica, and pulse-pounding drums. From the bluesy blend of So You Wanna Change The World, to “the first song we ever wrote,” the dynamic Looking For An Old Friend, The Georgia Thunderbolts rustle up a new era of rock ‘n’ roll, informed by their history in Rome, a town with a deep agricultural history. So when they sing Spirit Of A Workin’ Man, you better believe they mean it. “It’s got a deep lesson to it. You can’t knock down the little man,” TJ says. |
| “There’s a message to what we’re doing,” Bristol says. “It’s okay to be yourself. If you’re going through hard times, the music will always be there. We’d love to remind everyone of that.” “Rock and roll is something that comes naturally for us,” Riley, Zach and Logan conclude. “We love it and are in it for the long haul. We feel like we can bring it back.” |
