The Pine Hill Haints
Taking inspiration from roots music and Southern tales of the supernatural, the Pine Hill Haints play a self-described style of "Alabama ghost country" that touches upon honky tonk, rockabilly, folk, and bluegrass. As a child, vocalist Jamie Barrier often joined his grandfather in attending local hootenannies, where he was exposed to the musical traditions of his native Alabama. Later, Barrier honed his own voice by singing in a graveyard -- the Pine Hill Cemetery -- and formed a raucous rockabilly outfit named the Wednesdays while still in elementary school. {$The We...[more]

The album takes its name from the late 19th century Native American movement, which is still relevant today. Our society shines bright from the green corporate star, taking us away from the land, our spiritual self, and into the great binary plastic system. The Pine Hill Haints long for a day when this wasn't the case and attempt to channel and haunt us with the memory of who we once were. Growing up in the lower Appalachians, the band learned its sound from old men and women playing on porches and in livin [ read more ]

The world moves fat and slow under the green light of the bright corporate star. The modern times continue. the Prayers and Curses that were once known as songs continue to rise from the meditations of our hearts, and out of the crushed skull of north Alabama comes the Pine Hill Haints. With a core group of kindred spirits who enjoy performing music, the band travels and records often, mainly through the south, and randomly all over the world. There is an invisible union of junk musicians and storytelling f [ read more ]

Growing up in the lower Appalachians, The Pine Hill Haints learned its sound from old men and women playing on porches and in living rooms, under ancient oak trees and paper mill forests. The 19 tracks on this album are a massive flow of music. Some songs were written on the day of the recording, and others 400 years ago. 'When You Fall' and 'Say Something Say Anything' explore the feeling of holding an empty hand out to someone you love.

Beneath the gleaming corporate star, America fattens and bloats, weighted by the amount of debt and gluttony, clogged hearts burning for sex and power, and under this neon glow her soul has died. Enter The Pine Hill Haints, the spirit of this once pioneer land, now dead and forgotten, a shadow. The band met in the wreckage of Alabama through skateboarding. In the wild, dirty south, the police still hammer down any form of life or spark of beauty, and in order to stay below the radar, the young group of skat [ read more ]

Who said washboards and washtubs don't belong in rock? Continuing to add the hillbilly to rockabilly, the Pine Hill Haints fine-tune their junkyard sound while taking a slightly darker turn on their second album for K Records, To Win or to Lose. Lyrically, the songs often follow the travels of folks who are down on their luck -- specifically hobos, vagabonds, and dumpster divers -- but despite depressing undertones, the record still manages to be mostly upbeat. Heck, It's not easy to hold a frown i [ read more ]
