Like a younger Okkervil River with less melodrama and some hefty ADD meds, Dear And The Headlights are a bunch of dudes from some desert town (Tempe, AZ) who play agile Americana songs that will fill speaker cones of rock joints both tiny and small in the coming days and months. These guys seem like road warriors—young, prepping their second LP (Drunk Like Bible Times out 9/30 on Equal Vision), packing the requisite facial stubble—and that’s where these songs were meant to live, in transit . Less for homebodies and more for homewreckers, this band plays mischievous rock songs for the everyman, the kind of music that can would work at both weddings and house parties, soaring loudly to make one lose their collective shit. We’ve got two cuts from the upcoming album available for download, so check them out below and thank me the next time you’re bored on a long drive, these sounds will have you slapping the dashboard and yelping along soon thereafter.

Sounds like: Okkervil River, Howlies, Born Ruffians
