Lancaster County, PA foursome The Districts signed with Mississippi based label Fat Possum back in 2013. The young band has perfected their own brand of authentic, soulful rock .The band came to nationwide attention when a one-take performance of their track “Funeral Beds” was filmed at a local Philadelphia studio and skyrocketed to the front page of Reddit, with WNYC noting that the song “showcased an impressive knack (for) memorable vocals and for song craft that starts as introspective indie rock and builds to a climatic wall of noise.”

The release of The Districts EP in January 2014, these fresh-faced young Pennsylvanian minstrels have already made a name for themselves with their diverse indie-folk/ blues sound, playing Electric Picnic 2014 and redeemed themselves to be the hottest artists at SXSW 2014.

The band comments on their upcoming album released in February of next year, “We’re super pumped to finally announce our new album, A Flourish and a Spoil, comes out February 9 in the UK (6th February in Ireland).
