Lotteries & Lightning Strikes (Single)

Bantom Woods are an Alternative Indie Rock band from Austin, Texas who released their debut EP "With All Due Respect" in summer 2023. On March 28, 2025 the band will return with their latest single "Lotteries & Lightning Strikes" taken from their forthcoming album to be released later this year via Shifting Sounds. Although the band is rather new, all of the members are Indie rock royalty in Austin - all playing in multiple bands spanning over 2 decades, including bands like Silver Scooter. The band blends a variety of genres like alternative rock, 90s college indie, post-punk and dream pop, lead by thundering bass lines and buzzing guitars, and the story telling light rasp of lead vocalist John Hunt. On the bands latest single, Bantom Woods combines twangy guitars with dreamy soundscapes, while having enough fuzz and rock to keep your head bobbing to the catchy melody and hooks. Part indie rock, part 90s inspired alternative rock, part Americana, part jangly college rock and part dream pop, Bantom Woods create their own signature sound that is both unique and catchy, and will appeal to fans of The Replacements, Sonic Youth, Sugar, Ride, The Hold Steady, Superdrag and the like.
