Ryder McCoy band

From the Montgomery, Alabama area, Ryder McCoy makes music for the places Nashville drives past without slowing down. The first few seconds might fool you. A slide guitar. A gospel voice. A country line. Then the floor drops. This is poverty, paranoia, dope smoke, backroad theology, busted humor, and Southern survival translated into sound. The stories may be distorted by smoke, but the truth stays clean underneath. This world is not fantasy. It is right beside yours. You just don’t see it until life drags you close enough to the shadow. Straight from the places Nashville drives past and polite people pretend not to see. We don’t write songs. We report from the brink.
