Video of the week: Hush Money 'No Questions'

USA 4 piece Hush Money are thrilled to release their new single ‘No Questions’ taken from the latest album ‘Go Back Home’ being a veritable jambalaya of southern drenched flavours born from a myriad of influences that will appeal to a wide palette making the band hard to pigeon hole. The band muses on the inspiration for the song and accompanying video, “It’s the tale of your typical everyday disgruntled employee working his 9-5 and wishing for something better. It’s really important to just enjoy the time you have with the people you love because one day it will all be over…so worrying about loving or hating your job is just a small part of the bigger picture. Life’s all about the wins and the losses, some days you love what you do then some days you hate it, but at the end of the day you have to be thankful and not question all the things God decides to bless you with.”

Opening up on the album, “‘Go Back Home’ is a glimpse into the psyche that makes Hush Money who we are. We had things that needed to be said and to set the record straight about who we are as people and the values we hold dear. It’s riddled with lyrical representations of the experiences that we’ve had on our journey which we’re everyone can relate to.” Delving in further the band muses “There’s songs of redemption, family, love lost and found, humour in hardship, and hope through the darkest times. It’s a tapestry of our take on traditional feeling good music and storytelling that has been brought to life from the deep south for many decades.” The 13 track collection has garnered high praise from Rockposer “It’s a really classic sounding album in every respect” and Overtone Magazine “An excellent album that I’d recommend to anyone, 9.5/10” and is available now on CD/vinyl direct from the band HERE.

The sonic diversity spooned from a large skillet of influences demonstrates that the band are no one-trick show horse and provides the listener with a body of work to suit a wide range of times and emotions. The album was recorded in live takes capturing the essence of the band at LedBelly Sound Studio in Georgia and produced by Matt Washburn (Mastodon, Norma Jean) and took a different approach to its release. “You may notice that the full album isn't on streaming sites. We thought long and hard on that, took some advice and we’ll be releasing tracks individually. Music is so disposable nowadays, we want to have the album heard in full like days gone by giving it more longevity, in turn curating a catalogue digitally and buying direct from an independent band like us helps us out a heap.”

Starting from humble beginnings, hailing from Georgia in the foothills of the southern Appalachians, the band consists of brothers Seth Weaver (vocals/guitar) and Greg Weaver (vocals/drums), Caleb Logan (vocals/guitar) and Nathaniel Newberry (bass). Being notably led by three vocalists this sets them apart in their performances and provides contrast to amplify the mood of each song. Their previous releases have reached audiences not only in the US but also throughout the UK having quickly risen from playing local small town bars to venturing overseas touring to rave reviews and a rapturous ovation at the esteemed Call of The Wild festival.

“We’re here to show others there is no shame in being proud of who you are, where you come from, the experiences you've had, and the values you were raised with.” There’s nothing quiet about who Hush Money believes that they are and they wish to share that with all. “Be you, be proud of who you are, and celebrate the people and places that made you the person you are. We’re proud of this work, it is a true representation of who we are as musicians and people.”
