Knoxville, TN based band The Lethargics are in bleak mood on their new single Habitat For Insanity. People seem to have lost their minds, caught in a bubble of fake news and having lost the ability to listen what another party might have to say. The song is a mid-tempo smoldering rocker, with the swagger of Southern rock and the melodic sensibilities of top shelf Americana.
Knoxville, TN based band The Lethargics have made videos for both tracks of their shows of their new double A-side Meteorite b/w Shelter In Place: "All the key elements of their particular blend of Americana are in place: gruff vocals, swaggering guitar, and in-your-face bass and drums. Meteorite is an on-point rocker and Shelter In Place is filled with a Springteen-inspired melancholy, the kind of song that the Boss would not have minded to have written when he was working on Devils & Dust".
Knoxville, TN based band The Lethargics are working on new material, but the release of a new double A-side Meteorite b/w Shelter In Place, will make the wait more bearable. The band themselves are calling it an EP, a rather grand name for two songs that both come shy of a running time of four minutes.

The Lethargics play gravelly Americana with a touch of mid-tempo, swaggering rock. On Uncertain Times, the latest by the Knoxville, TN based band, they wave a finger telling anyone who wants to hear that they had been warned that thing might go South on a personal and global scale. And while it is nice to be right (Bitterness, Right About The War) - a pessimist is never disappointed - they also offer a glimmer of hope for a Hollywood ending of sorts, with love winning out in the end (Love Goes On).
Uncertain Times is an album for fans of Jim White and The Replacements (preferably both). Despite their band name The Lethargics are not an outfit to take things lying down. They speak up in a loud voice, wrapping their concerns in fine rock 'n' roll that goes straight for the gut. They have the chops and the lyrics that deserves a far better piece of cover art than the Paint job they used - but maybe that's some sort of ironic move on their part.
