The Districts will be your new favourite band if you like ragged US rock, country-tinged Americana with elements of blues and folk. If you like music made by young men who appear to have just stumbled out of bed. For whom languor is an energy.

And there are other tracks where they have a penchant for rocking out that hints they could be Kings Of Leon big.
