Independent Country are 6 cowboys from Birmingham (UK) who take Indie classics on a rollicking ride to Nashville and back.

 

Floppy fringes and baggy jeans are swapped for pedal steel guitars and four-part harmonies as the NME meets The Grand Ole Opry. You ain’t heard nothing like this!

 

Saddle up your ponies and say hello to the best gang in town…

 

New music - Chaise Longue EP

Our next release is The Chaise Longue EP, featuring songs originally by Wet Leg, Black Grape and Blur. The EP will be available on all digital services, and as a CD single from our Bandcamp page. Pre-order the EP now from Bandcamp and get immediate access to our Outlaw Country take on 'Reverend Black Grape' 

Releases 6th December 2024

Live

The band have played festivals and venues all over the UK, including The Union Chapel, Shiiine On and Moseley Folk Festival.

 

They bring either full-band sets that'll tear the house down on a raucous Saturday night, or else a laid-back acoustic show that will provide the ideal soundtrack to a regretful, hungover Sunday.

 

Watch them in action in the playlist of live videos below. Songs by Arctic Monkeys, Nirvana and more...

The word around town..

“It’s fairly easy to apply the tropes of one musical genre to a song from another; it takes real skill and inspiration to make the new versions sound like that’s how they were always meant to be. Independent Country have both in abundance.”

Mike DaviesMike DaviesFolk Radio, UK

"The best thing I have EVER heard”

Jim ReidJim ReidJesus and Mary Chain

"A bold retelling of classic songs as distinctive alt-country performances. Storyteller vocals and skilled instrumentation shape pristine interpretations"
