The Georgia Thunderbolts Rise Above It All (CD)

(Mascot Records) 13 tracks,

The Georgia Thunderbolts have announced their highly anticipated sophomore album, Rise Above It All, in 2024. The 13-track album features the quintet’s signature blend of Southern rock, blues, and soulful Americana, demonstrating the band’s ability to navigate a multitude of musical terrains while capturing the deep emotional and artistic growth fostered by years spent on the road.

For The Georgia Thunderbolts, the path to becoming the new torchbearers of Southern rock hasn’t been as glamorous as one might imagine. It wasn’t that long ago that the guys were working odd jobs at gas stations, jamming out to cover songs, and driving four hours to Alabama to play for a bartender and a three-legged dog on a barstool.

But today, the Rome, Georgia, quintet has grown into a critically acclaimed, internationally touring band that’s fighting off its second slump with its latest release. The quintet’s earthy, sentimental aesthetic encompasses the intimacy of late-’60s songwriting, blues nostalgia, country mythology, and a heavy dose of arena-worthy classic hard rock. All of the growth and maturation of the last two and a half years is captured on Rise Above It All. This 13-song collection is an album that sets the stage for an exciting new chapter as the Georgia Thunderbolts continue their rise and thrill audiences around the world.
