The music of Colony House–an indie rock band made up of brothers Will and Caleb Chapman ,as well as Scott Mills and Parke Cottrell–is playfully self-described as “landlocked surf rock.” Their personal genre designation is as much inspired by their hometown of Franklin, Tenn. as their new album The Cannonballers is; “In short, Tennessee was the inspiration for this project,” frontman Caleb Chapman says. “We got to see the seasons change and experience our home again for the first time in a long time. I think I was falling back in love with Tennessee, and I started revisiting some old memories and old relationships in my head that pertained to certain geographical locations as well as just emotional places I had spent my most formative years.” The band’s music is built on pillars of honesty, accessibility and family, and much of TheCannonballers is too: within 11 tracks, the band delves into where they come from and how a place, and its memories, have made them.
