The Features is an indie band composed of four guys Matt Pelham, Roger Dabbs, Don Sergio and Parrish Yaw, who went to middle school together in the small town of Sparta, Tennessee.
Growing up in a town of only 5,000, the boys started their band in 8th grade out of boredom. Their playlists consisted of songs by artists such as Beethoven, Neil Young, and Guns n' Roses.
Through high school the guys continued their band, playing in small events such as parties and talent shows, and in their college years they moved up to playing in clubs and bars in Nashville.
Within only a few years, the band signed a contract with Spongebath Records and had started professionally recording their music.
Their chance at stardom came when they toured with the popular band of brothers the Kings of Leon as their opening band.
Touring with the KOL paid off. On June 2009, the Kings of Leon announced having the freedom to sign and champion artists of their choice. The Features were the first band to be signed to the imprint, and the first release as part of the deal was the Some Kind of Salvation LP, released July 28, 2009.
