Funky blues-rock is not exactly what you’d expect from a band out of Nashville. And it ain’t exactly what you’d expect from a band out of the Christian music community either. But The New Respects are both. The foursome consists of singer/guitarist Jasmine Mullen, alongside her cousins, twin sisters Lexi (bass) and Zandy Fitzgerald (guitar) and their brother Darius (drums). You can hear they’re fans of Alabama Shakes, Elle King and Lenny Kravitz circa Are You Gonna Go My Way.

Freedom is the band’s new single and it rocks like hell! (excusez le mot ?)
