Chicago Dive Bar Country

Sparkle Carcass formed in 2017 around songwriter Cody Palmer following the dissolution of his previous efforts with power pop trio Tuff Slang. Cody’s songwriting pulls from all the best music to come out of Texas, Southern California, and the Midwest to give you drinkin’ songs, dancin’ songs, and songs that make you wanna stay a while. Most importantly, each song delivers on the honest storytelling that makes country music worth listening to. No matter the venue, a Sparkle Carcass show is like a good night out: exciting, surprising, and a damn good time.
