Athens, Georgia's alt-country, indie-rocking, folky badass band Futurebirds released their new EP, Via Flamina, today and it's sure to rock your pants off.

To celebrate the event, the guys released an awesome trailer designed to get fans super pumped to hear their new material.
 

Futurebirds's debut album, Hampton's Lullaby, has gotten some serious buzz since its release in July, and the guys have gathered a solid fan base by touring with fellow Athens band Dead Confederate, playing with Jonny Corndawg and raging stages at SXSW for the past couple years. With rockin' riffs and headbanging beats (a band you MUST see live), their songs definitely give off an indie vibe and have been compared to the likes of early My Morning Jacket and Kings of Leon. But with raw four-part harmonies, folky undertones and a pedal steel, you can't help but crave a rocking chair and a six-pack.

Roxwel got the chance to sit down with Futurebirds Thomas and Carter in an interview to talk about the camaraderie between fellow Athens bands, their process of writing songs and their experience at their first SXSW in 2010.

To hear more from these rocking southern gents, check out this exclusive live performance from their show at the Mohawk in Austin, TX.
