7 song EP<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nate and his band, Ragged Company, are on a steady rise, and their five-song EP, \u201cThe Otherside of Everything\u201d, is clear proof. A collection of tracks that feel both classic and fresh, the EP\u2014recorded at Rare Signal Studios by the renowned Brian Charles\u2014strikes a perfect balance between polish and raw emotion. At its heart is Nate\u2019s voice, which stands out for its sincerity, strength, and natural fit within the band\u2019s sound. He doesn\u2019t just sing; he connects. His time in Nashville during his Army years has shaped his songwriting, bringing a touch of country-influenced storytelling to his heartfelt lyrics and memorable melodies. By the second chorus of most tracks, you\u2019ll find yourself singing along\u2014reminiscent of the kind of hooks that made Tom Petty and Creedence Clearwater Revival timeless. Ragged Company is a well-rounded, cohesive band. Sam Demello provides a solid, driving rhythm on drums, while Connor Milligan\u2019s bass lines add depth and groove, all while contributing harmonies. Ollie Nash brings richness on keys and vocals, and Chandler\u2019s lead guitar work is both tasteful and powerful, knowing exactly when to step forward. His raw, expressive solo on Preacher is a highlight. With an upcoming performance at Boston Calling, Nate and Ragged Company are poised for bigger things. If The Otherside of Everything is just the beginning, there\u2019s plenty more to look forward to. (Brendan Murphy)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
