AC Thomas

Country slang. To AC Thomas, it's more than just a sound. It's a lifestyle. Years before forming their genre-bending duo, brothers Austin and Chad Thomas grew up in Birmingham, Alabama, listening to the sounds of the American South. Chad was drawn to country music, rock & roll and blues, while Austin veered toward hip-hop and punk. Bound by blood, the siblings began collaborating, turning their diverse influences into a sound that was proudly southern and boldly modern lines between genres. Chad believes traditional songs can live in a modern world, his guitar skills and expressive vocals are key components of the band's country foundation. Meanwhile, Austin's rapping and street-smart swagger help push AC Thomas into unexplored territory. They've never felt pressured to fit into one genre. Austin says, they are just two country boys from Alabama who grew up listening to all kinds of music, and the most natural thing we could do is combine it all together. Country slang isn't just our kind of music. It's us."
