Oct 06, 2016 By Christopher Roberts Savoy Motel

Savoy Motel are a promising new band from Nashville who have little to do with that city’s storied country music scene. Instead they embrace a dirty 1970s glam rock vibe with hints of soul, boogie, power pop, and even disco. They are releasing their self-titled debut album on October 21 via cool New York indie label What’s Your Rupture? Last month the band shared the album’s second single, “Sorry People,” a song inspired by the late musician Jay Reatard, who was a friend to Savoy Motel bassist/vocalist Jeffrey Novak. Now the song has a video.

Dylan Carver directed the countrified clip, which features the band hanging out at a tree and doing some line dancing in a bar. Watch it below, followed by the band’s upcoming tour dates (including some opening for The Dandy Warhols).
