This is the first I've heard of Appalachian Surf Team but they've been around since at least 2013 and seem to have honed their craft pretty well by now. A live album suits them well; this album is bristling with energy and it sounds like a ton of fun even with a bit more crowd chatter picked up than you normally hear on a live record. In fact, it's pretty great when you hear one of the women in the crowd talking loudly lose her marbles when they launch into their supercharged cover of "Eye of the Tiger". A bunch of these are covers (with only slightly changed titles) but they're all done with enough oomph behind them that they're still fun. You know, Knoxville ain't too far from New Orleans! Come visit!
