God's America (band)
God's America was an experimental post-hardcore Atlanta, GA.-based trio, formed in 2005, which consisted of Lindsay Childs, Ian Deaton, and Sarah Case. Garnering a cult following and playing numerous shows in the local Atlanta underground scene, God's America disbanded in the summer of 2006 before guitarist Ian Deaton moved to London.
History
Co-founded after guitarist Ian Deaton's departure from Blame Game with drummer Lindsay Childs in the summer of 2005. The band's name was inspired by in particular by the Alan Jackson song Where Were You (When the World Stopped Turning) and the rise of Fundamentalist Christianity in post-9/11 America in general . Vocalist Sara Case joined before the self-released, DIY cassette that would eventually go out of print and be re-released as a CD-R on Stickfigure Records. God's America played its last show at the Drunken Unicorn on August 26, 2006.
Opening for such bands as Fatal Flying Guilloteens and touring with Deerhunter, God's America demonstrated an uncanny ability to produce cacophonously Beefheartian guitar structures without being bogged down by the constraints of turn-of-the-century post-hardcore excesses.
