Roadkill Ghost Choir

This awesomely-named band is a folky americana group from Florida.  They have quite a country twang, and the lead singer has got a strong southern accent, but the music feels a bit more rocky and alternative-influenced than a true country band.  I think they only have an EP out right now; it took me quite a few listens before I was convinced of its quality.  But now I'm of the opinion that it's quite good indeed.  Check out this live version of their catchiest song, Beggar's Guild.  Their lyrics are good, often pretty intense, with frequent Christian allusions.  Here is my favourite of their songs; it's a bit quieter.  You can download "Beggar's Guild" for free on their bandcamp site, but I recommend getting the entire EP for $5!
