Reunited Alabama cult rock ‘n roll favorites return with a long-lost single.

Southern rock lives in The Dexateens bones. That’s loud and clear on "Fellowship Of The Saturday Night Brotherhood," the single that is finally being released after it was recorded in 2011. Dusty guitar riffs and frontman Elliott McPherson’s drawl characterize the track that is about the spirituality of being in a band — or maybe the lack thereof.

"'Fellowship' was written about being in a band and being best friends with atheists, don't cares, agnostics, and believers," says McPherson to Myspace. "Even though we all believe different things, there is something about our deal that seems like there is some sort of quasi spiritual binding amongst us. It's probably only something that I see in my own personal narcissism, but I feel like it shows when we are ruling it on stage.  

"The song makes a loose reference to Paul The Apostle's blinding on the road to Damascus and it is sort of saying that this is possibly what humanity is experiencing in this modern age when believing in the supernatural is considered naive and foolish. 

"To be perfectly honest there is also a part of that song that is written about the fact that I know that one day I'm going to meet my maker and when I do, I'm going to be held accountable for all the public hell raising that I did in this band."

Gather some friends, crack open a few beers and enjoy the barroom jam below. The Dexateens' new record Teenage Hallelujah comes out on October 7.
