Just when you thought Southern rock was said and done, along comes Beitthemeans, swaggering out from a dark shed somewhere deep in the pines of Sylacauga, Alabama.

With swelling riffs, bluesy throwbacks and a lead singer with a screech that must be part owl, BITM certainly cracks the whip on Southern rock.

Lester Nuby III, Jason Hamric, Mikey Williams, and Craig Ceravelo make up this lineup and it promises not to disappoint. Long time veterans of the Alabama music scene, this foursome balances on the tight rope of beautiful and ear crushing.
Listening to Holiday Gunfire only begs to ask these two questions-
Why has this not happened yet? And, Where are my earplugs!
