History
Formed in a dorm at Belmont University, they released the concept album 1988 in 2009 under the moniker "Michael Ford, Jr. & the Apache Relay", later dropping the frontman's name for their follow-up 2011 album American Nomad. They opened for a number of Mumford & Sons tour dates, appeared at numerous music festivals, and a song from the album, "Power Hungry Animals" was used in the 2013 comedy film The Way Way Back.
In 2014 they released the single "Katie Queen of Tennessee" from their eponymous 2014 album The Apache Relay. They also recorded a cover of the Bruce Springsteen song "Cover Me" for the Dead Man's Town: A Tribute to Born in the U.S.A. compilation album.
