"Finding a band like The Seratones, who've been quietly operating in Shreveport, La., always makes us wonder what other hidden gems we're missing in isolated music scenes around the country." -
Paste
"It's probably the best off-the-cuff performance I've ever seen at SXSW." - NME
"...right in the Southern rock wheelhouse...equal parts swagger and aggression." - Stereogum
"...['Take It Easy'] feels like a bold move. It's closer to a ballad than some might expect from the band, but it's one that tears at the soul with sharp teeth." - Consequence of Sound
"The song is 'Necromancer,' and it fully communicates what makes this feisty dance band special: the hot fun it brings to garage rock, the punchiness of its grooves, and most of all, the swooping soprano of AJ Haynes..." - NPR Music
Today Seratones share the music video for "Necromancer," the A-side to their newly released 7-inch single on Fat Possum.The surging track, driven by powerhouse frontwomanA.J. Haynes, whose thunderous vocals recall the grit of Janis Joplin and gospel of Mavis Staples, is premiering exclusively via NPR's Songs We Love. PRESS HERE to watch the video now.
"The video is a sneak peek into one of our favorite semi-secret places in our hometown, a roofless building where we used to put on happenings--experimental multimedia events...which inevitably turned into parties by the end of the night," front woman A.J. Haynes explains of the music video. "It only seemed fitting to bring 'Necromancer,' a song about dancing, to that hallowed ground. The party spirit guided us thorough the video, drew us to the visual language of Dia de Los Muertos, and taught us that love transforms death into sweetness."
Howling and wailing all the way from Louisiana with a whole lot of soul and inimitable raw talent, Seratones are beasts of the Southern wild and one of the best new rock & roll bands you'll hear in 2015.
