Southerland - Boot Up (2021) Hi-Res

Rising country duo Southerland will release its debut EP, Boot Up. The seven song EP includes the previously released singles ‘Thing Is,’ ‘Little Bit of You’ and ‘Along Those Lines’ as well as four all-new songs that showcase the duo’s smooth vocals and traditional country harmonies.

What Southerland have masterfully accomplished in this EP is to bring back the traditional, authentic country sound of their roots but shape it for the modern time, whilst managing to create a sound that is uniquely theirs and from the opening bars of ‘Boot Up’ that sound is immensely compelling. The project showcases a duo that are made for the love circuit, kicking off with the bombastic opener ‘Boot Up’ that offers a throbbing bass breakdown, a swaggering sound that is brought back on later track – ‘Dance.’ The latter is Brooks and Dunn in feel, but sonically Southerland about a girl only being interested in a guy for one thing – as a dance partner. It offers a blistering guitar solo and the catchy chorus ‘When she wants to dance / Buddy there’s your chance if you want it.’
