Flourish and A Spoil (Bonus Track)

The Districts are a band that exists in the moment, whether they're tearing it up in a basement, rocking a festival crowd or hard at work in a studio.The Pennsylvania four-piece channels its long-forged bonds into visceral, explosive rock and roll. You'll hear hints of Americana, moments of the blues and folk, but written into songs so expressive that those labels are transcended. 'A Flourish and a Spoil' is their anticipated sophomore LP, on POD via Inertia.

The band formed in 2009 while the members were still in high school in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. 'A Flourish And A Spoil' features singer/guitarist Rob Grote's vocals front and center, original members Grote, Connor Jacobus on bass and Braden Lawrence on percussion with Pat Cassidy joining on guitar following the departure of Mark Larson.

Moving forward from their first release after signing to Fat Possum, The Districts had a tremendous showing in Austin for SXSW 2014. They've since taken the show to Lollapalooza, Austin City Limits, Reading / Leeds, Outside Lands, Haldern Pop Festival and many more festivals in the U.S. and Europe.

'A Flourish and a Spoil' is a vibrant, eclectic rock record, collecting sounds from toe-tapping fuzz-pop "Peaches" to contemplative folk "Suburban Smell" and driving, impressionistic soundscapes "Young Blood." It announces the arrival of The Districts as a captivating voice in contemporary rock, a band crafting heartfelt music that's honest, raw, energetic and unforgettable.
