We talked about Charleston based Brave Baby not too long ago and they’re debut release on Hearts & Plugs Forty Bells.  Well now we have the lead off track from the record and it’s a good’n.  Excellent guitar work propel the opener into a sing-a-long-able chorus and a rawkus closing.  Head HERE to grab the record for yourself.

Our friends over at Hearts & Plugs are less than a year old and already making their presence known as an indie label.  Their new signee Brave Baby is an excellent score from the burgeoning southern scene.  This band is a great addition to your collection if you like emoting indie rock in the vein of Arcade Fire or The Rosebuds.  ”Living in a Country”, the first single from their upcoming debut Forty Bells, gives a sense of urgency and consequence while still making you want to dance (maybe that part’s just me).  I look forward to hearing more from this Charleston, SC group.  The record is due out January 15th, 2013.
