Ryan Sobb and the Dead Mall
Raucous and boisterous, poised with lyrical clarity and intention, and sewn together with a band that could melt your face off and leave you punch drunk and stumbling wondering what the hell happened is the best description that could get you somewhere near the sound of Ryan Sobb and The Dead Mall. There are few songwriters with the wit and porch-sat wisdom that Sobb delivers. Paired with his badass rock trio The Dead Mall (Preston Cochran on bass guitar, Alex Rodriguez on drums) the band deliver a record and sound that are equal parts rowdy and reflective.
Originally hailing from Chicago by way of Birmingham, Alabama, Sobb's roots have been set in Nashville for several years now. Since then he's released a slew of singles, such as the stellar "Still Waiting" & "Right Time" as well releases from The Dead Mall like "The Real John Law of the Valley" with the help of Anthony Da Costa and their 2021 tascam venture, Carnival Shapes EP featuring the gah damn hit "Two Phones". Most recently the band released a live video in collaboration with Earthquaker Devices & Dialback Sound of their song "Two Phones" recorded back in 2021.
The Dead Mall have their debut record due out this fall. The record was produced, in part with the band, by Scottie Prudhoe (Lucy Dacus, Darrin Bradbury via Anti Records) at Trace Horse Studios in Nashville, and was mastered by Preston Cochran (Passion Fruit Boys, The Minks) . Art direction and design was put together by Maxwell Sebastian. Keep an eye out for more and check out the full album here.
