 ttributes: \nInfo: Driven by DIY merit\, Annapolis band\, Bumpin Uglies is
  no stranger to the pull of the bootstrap. Seven successful studio albums 
 have paved the way for the awe-inspiring eighth. Underdog: The Acoustic Se
 ssions\, recorded live in studio by the band’s founder\, Brandon Hardest
 y\, showcases the songwriting prowess that has been a constant pillar of t
 he band’s music since its inception. Consisting of 16-tracks\, the LP in
 troduces seven new songs never before heard and nine fan favorites that ha
 ve been stripped down to raw\, poignant\, gut-punching versions that diffe
 r from the fast-paced guitar riffs\, pulsing drums\, and dynamic horn sect
 ions of the originals. “Underdog: The Acoustic Sessions is an anthem for
  authenticity. It’s for all the artists that choose to embrace their pas
 sion as a form of art\, rather than a transactional medium. A celebration 
 of the imperfections that make us beautiful”\, frontman and singer/songw
 riter\, Hardesty conveys. Distributed via Silverback’s independent recor
 d label\, Controlled Substance Sound Labs\, Underdog: The Acoustic Session

 d storytelling dexterity of artists like John Prine\, The Avett Brothers\,
  Jason Isbell\, and Sturgill Simpson\, weaving heartfelt tales of life's s
