New York, NY (Top40 Charts) Southerland, the seemingly made for country duo comprised of Matt Chase and Chris Rogers, is slated to release their anticipated six song self-titled EP on April 21st. The previously unreleased "Three Minutes" and "Ain't For Me" that harken back to the days of early Dierks or a rookie
Jason Aldean in stature and promise are the two new tracks on the EP.
Packaged together with their four most recent singles "Down The Road," "Underpaid and Overserved," "Ice Cold Country Music" and "World Without You," the EP is a complete picture that showcases both their songwriting depth and performance range. Quite simply - it hits like good country music should.
A genuine fit in today's radio world while being built around the same solid framework that's held up decades of country music's best, Southerland is a long hauler that's only getting started.
"This EP is a long time coming," says Southerland. "Since our last collective release we have been working really hard in the writers room and in the studio to capture the magic of who Southerland is and wants to be. We can't wait for fans to hear it. It's one we can truly hang our hat on."
The duo, who sees themselves as the blue collar, hard working person's band, has been on the road this year playing sold out shows all over the country with
Frank Foster and continue their touring in May in Arkansas.

When something in life is really real, you can feel it and Matt Chase and Chris Rogers - better known as the country duo Southerland, is about as real as it gets. There is no posturing with these two, it's just on-point, dyed-in-the-wool, country music the way it should be. They met in 2016 through mutual friend Ray Fulcher during a songwriting session and found themselves playing on the road together that same week. Their musical compatibility is what has kept the two working and playing together since. They have developed, quite naturally, into a duo that relies heavily on lyrical content, while melodically tapping into a 90s sound that feels completely current. Their new self-titled EP is a complete picture that showcases both their songwriting depth and performance range. Quite simply - it hits you like good country music should. A genuine fit in today's radio world while being built around the same solid framework that's held up decades of country music's best, Southerland is a long hauler that's only getting started.
