The Band Of Heathens

The immensely popular Austin-based quintet, The Band of Heathens, have made quite a national debut this year, with the release of their first studio album, The Band of Heathens. The album features the band's diverse American sound in three lead singer/songwriter/guitar players and a badass rhythm section. It has been described by Vintage Guitar Magazine as balancing "between studio-slick and devil-may-care sloppiness, with equal parts southern rock, 50's R&B, and Louisiana swamp-rock with a punkish swagger." The Band of Heathens have drawn comparisons to Little Feat, the Band, Gram Parsons, and the Black Crowes, and are considered by some to be the ambassadors of Austin's thriving music scene. They don't bring a set list, they don't have a front man, but they bring their Country hued Roots Rock 'n' Soul Revival from Austin to NYC, to Chicago, to Atlanta, to Denver and beyond.
