The Band Of Heathens

The Band Of Heathens started off as a side-project for five musicians from Austin, Texas. With a penchant for Southern Rock they quickly build a following and released a live album and a live DVD in 2007. Their self-titled debut is an album made with confidence - recorded quickly they tear through theirs songs like a freight train, at top speed only slowing down to refuel. With a three-man front line sharing vocal duties they can use a different mode for each song and still maintain a rock solid common ground, Yes, you probably have heard it all before. Who cares? If you like the Allmann's and The Black Crowes this album will do nicely.
