Nathaniel Rateliff & The Night Sweats – ‘Love Don’t’
Nathaniel Rateliff & The Night Sweats were last in Australia back in 2019. They’ve since released their third album, 2021’s The Future, on the legendary Stax Records. Band leader Rateliff also released his third solo album, And It’s Still Alright, in 2020.
Alabama eight-piece St. Paul & The Broken Bones released their fourth album, The Alien Coast, in early 2022. The band’s first release on ATO Records is built upon a new set of creative influences, including psychedelia, classic rock’n’roll and more funk than on previous releases.
