‘Carry Me Back’ is the Nashville-based band’s fourth studio album and first since 2008’s Tennessee Pusher, featuring 12 brand-new tracks that sonically span the band’s career, while still pushing them forward in new directions as musicians and songwriters.

The album was recorded at the legendary Sound Emporium studios in Nashville (O Brother, Where Art Thou?; REM’s Document; Robert Plant and Alison Krauss’s Raising Sand). ‘Carry Me Back’ was produced by Ted Hutt (Gaslight Anthem, Dropkick Murphys, Flogging Molly).

OCMS (Ketch Secor, Critter Fuqua, Kevin Hayes, Morgan Jahnig, Gill Landry, and Chance McCoy) will be hitting the road to tour the US in their Summer in support of ‘Carry Me Back’. The band has toured Australia twice – including Byron Bay Bluesfest and Golden Plains Festival – (and NZ once) and continues to grow their fanbase, both in terms of numbers, and widening demographics, with every release and tour.

OCMS is also a part of the tour documentary Big Easy Express, which premiered at the South By Southwest 2012 Film Festival and also screened recently at the Nashville Film Festival. The movie documents 2011’s Railroad Revival Tour, which featured OCMS on tour with Mumford & Sons and Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros on a tour across the US, where the three bands travelled together on vintage train cars, playing fantastic shows at stops along the way.
