Maylene And The Sons Of Disaster

Maylene and the Sons of Disaster is a band that melds Southern rock fervor with hard-hitting post-hardcore intensity, forging a sound that has captivated listeners since their inception in the mid-2000s. Formed in Birmingham, Alabama, the outfit draws inspiration from the legendary tale of Ma Barker and her bandit sons, which adds an outlaw mystique to their image. The band was started by former Underoath singer Dallas Taylor in 2004, and it rapidly established a robust following bolstered by their vigorous live performances and the unique fusion of their musical styles.

Their eponymous debut album, "Maylene & The Sons of Disaster," released in 2005, set the stage for their subsequent works, showcasing their distinctive blend of raucous riffs and narratives that echo the Southern Gothic tradition. Progressing through their discography, "II" and "III" showed an evolution in complexity and confidence, with the latter peaking at #71 on the Billboard 200 chart. The band continued to refine their sound with "IV," which demonstrated a more polished approach while still retaining their raw, storytelling core. The "IV (Deluxe)" included additional tracks, solidifying their presence in the heavy music scene. Their release "Burn the Witches" and the single "Open Your Eyes" further teased the band's ability to evolve while staying true to the gritty essence that has garnered them a loyal following. Despite lineup changes, Maylene and the Sons of Disaster's music remains a bold testament to their Southern heritage and hardcore roots.
