Formed in the early spring of 2006 by a scraggly group of teenage kids, The Weeks – comprised at the time of Cain Barnes, Chaz Lindsay, Cyle Barnes, Damien Bone, and Samuel Williams – “demonstrated how much five kids between the ages of 14 and 16 knew about pain, death, love, loss and the trials of life in the deep South…” (RS) The group instantly came to define the new sound of southern rock with their grunge-powered, high-octane anthems rich with a soul that spoke far deeper than the band’s teenage years would suggest. (Check out our full artist review here.)

The Sights and Sounds had a chance to sit down and chat with the southern rockers while we were covering Hangout Music Festival in Gulf Shores, Alabama. With the Dirty Projectors performing right next to the open air media area, we talked about ghosts, reincarnation, their new album Dear Bo Jackson, sweet tea, and the upcoming tour with Kings of Leon. Check out the exclusive video interview below and head over to The Weeks’ Tumblr to listen to more!
