A Nashville band that blurred lines between country, rock, and hip-hop with songs like "Bar'n'Roll."
For their sound, start with "Bar'n'Roll" and then try "Futebol." That gives you both their chart moment and their range.
1853 mattered because they didn't fit neatly into one category, which sparked real debate about what country or rock could be. Their 2016 single "Bar'n'Roll" landed on both country and rock charts with its beat and lyrics. Songs like "O Tempo" and "Futebol" showed their range, even as some listeners preferred more traditional sounds.
They came out of Nashville with vocalist Kyle Maguire leading the band. After a 2015 EP, they released albums like "Wildfire" in 2018 and a live recording from the Ryman Auditorium in 2020. They kept playing and touring, known for energetic live shows.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
