The Weeks are an indie rock band from Jackson, Mississippi.[1]
The band was formed by Cain Barnes, Chaz Lindsay, Cyle Barnes, Damien Bone, and Samuel Dee.[2] The band signed to the Esperanza Plantation label, with the debut album, Comeback Cadillac, released in July 2008.[2] The album blended southern rock and alternative, and featured a duet with labelmate Allie Peden on "Sailor Song".[1] The album suggested a strong influence from Kings of Leon,[3] with Rilo Kiley, The Mars Volta, and My Morning Jacket also suggested as influences.[4] A second album, Rumspringa, followed in 2009. After some lineup changes that left them with a four piece of the Barnes twins, Bone and Williams, the band relocated to Nashville, TN. In March 2011, they returned to Water Valley, MS to work with Winn McElroy at his Black Wings Studio on the six songs that encompass a 12" EP entitled, "Gutter Gaunt Gangster", out October 11 on Esperanza Plantation. The remainder of their 2011 was spent touring with Junior Astronomers, Local H, and The Meat Puppets throughout the Southeast.
