Regals - "pissin in the wind"

Manchester, NH/Portland, ME country rock band Regals released a new single last Friday. "pissin in the wind" is the perfect style of alt-country or country rock. It's a laid back song with gruff vocals and guitars that twang and feedback at the same time. Although it's a laid back song, there is still a surprising intensity to it. It's reminding me of early Deer Tick and Drive-By Truckers, but with some Pixies thrown in. If the terms alt-country or country rock appeal to you, "pissin in the wind" was made for you. Even if the song doesn't grab you immediately, stick with it until the end. In four minutes, Regals could very well make you a superfan.
