Video & Song of the Week 8/18: Dead Confederate-"The Rat"

The past year has seen a quick rise for Athens Georgia's Dead Confederate. The band has seen themselves touring with heavyweights such as Dinosaur Jr., Drive By Truckers, and Deerhunter, as well as sharing the stage with fellow Athens boys R.E.M. at SXSW. The group is now ready to release the follow up to their self titled Ep, their new debut full length, Wrecking Ball which comes out September 16th on TAO Records. The album features their standout track "The Rat", which you can catch below from a live performance in Atlanta, Georgia in the Digital Arts Entertainment Lab.
