Nashville's Justin Webb & The Noise are set to make a splash with their debut album, Stupid Young, releasing on October 4 through Chicken Ranch Records. The band, featuring former members of We Were The States, Bully, and Only, brings a mix of raw energy and seasoned musicianship to this highly anticipated project. Produced by Jared Reynolds, known for his work with Ben Folds and Hayes Carll, and engineered by Joe Costa at 3Sirens Studio in Nashville, the album promises a gritty, unfiltered rock sound that harks back to the days when bands captured their essence live in the studio.
The band’s latest single, "A Rose To Chew On," is now available on streaming platforms, offering a taste of what's to come on Stupid Young. The song, which quickly became a favorite during their recording sessions, showcases the band’s ability to channel pure, unbridled energy into their music. With its bluesy, country-tinged intro that evolves into a powerful, driving track, "A Rose To Chew On" captures the essence of a band fully in sync, playing off each other's strengths.
Justin Webb, the band's frontman, reflects on the inspiration behind the track. He describes it as a story of being trapped in a toxic relationship, where two people are stuck in a cycle of bad habits, unable to break free. The song's lyrics, filled with vivid imagery, paint a picture of this destructive dynamic, all while the music pushes forward with relentless momentum.
The Noise, made up of Ben Moore on guitar, his brothers Bryan on drums and BJay on bass, and co-lead guitarist Will Pettus, deliver a sound that’s both nostalgic and fresh. Their approach to recording—capturing the band live in one room with minimal overdubs—gives Stupid Young a raw, authentic feel that's becoming increasingly rare in today’s music landscape.
Justin Webb & The Noise bring a refreshing authenticity to Southern rock, blending raw, live energy with introspective storytelling that feels both genuine and compelling. Their approach to recording and their strong musical chemistry set them apart in a genre that often leans on tradition, pushing the boundaries while staying true to their roots. With more singles and a tour in the works, Justin Webb & The Noise are poised to make their mark on the Southern rock scene, bringing their powerful sound to fans across the region.
