Perspective
The band's name comes from a street in Castlewood, Virginia southwest of Roanoke. The band first met in Castlewood and began playing music. They were formed by Gibson, Chafin, and Shelton who were high school best friends, and began touring the local area in Virginia not long after they graduated alongside additional members Patrick, Hall, and Louthian.[1] From 2014 to 2020, they recorded and self-released three studio albums, 49 Winchester (2014), The Wind (2018), and III (2020) while continuing to build a fanbase through performing live.
The band signed to New West Records some time after the release of III and, on February 18, 2022, they announced their fourth album and their first with the label, Fortune Favors the Bold, paired with the release of lead single "Annabel". In a statement about the project, Gibson said, “Signing with New West Records is something we’re really proud of. They’re an artist-centered label who gave us total creative freedom to make a record that is authentically us, and I speak for all the guys in the band when I say we are super excited about this being a New West release. I don’t think any other label could fit us so perfectly. We are looking forward to getting this record out and playing it on the road this summer!”[2] Fortune Favors the Bold was released on May 13, 2022.
On April 9, 2024, the band announced their fifth album, Leavin' This Holler, alongside the release of a lead single, "Yearnin' For You". The project was produced by the band and Stewart Myers and was released on August 2, 2024.[3] They embarked on a tour to support the album.[4] They released "Miles To Go" on December 13, 2024 after it was featured in the series Yellowstone on Paramount Network.[5]

Influences
Sonically, the band draws inspiration from country music performers Hank Williams, Johnny Cash, Merle Haggard, Waylon Jennings, and George Jones. Gibson has cited rock, punk, and metal artists as being a core influence on their music and live shows, specifically citing Zakk Wylde, Jim Root, Willie Adler from Lamb of God, and Pantera.[6] Rolling Stone likened their music to that of Chris Stapleton and Drive-By Truckers.
