TEXAS HIPPY COALITION
"Rollin'" (Carved Records; 2010)
Reviewed by R. Scott Bolton
Describing the music of Texas Hippy Coalition is easy: It often sounds like Southern-fried Black Label Society. It's heavy as hell with a vocalist as gruff as he can be without ever slipping into death metal cookie monster growls. It's designed to rock your speakers off the wall and it will probably do so.
Yeah, sometimes it gets a little same-y and, yeah, the production is even a little sludgy at times (although it kinda works for a record like this) but, if you're looking for the recorded equivalent of the wrecking ball, this just might be it.

Rating Guide:
A classic. This record will kick your ass.
Killer. Not a classic but it will rock your world.
So-so. You've heard better.
Pretty bad. Might make a nice coaster.
Self explanatory. Just the sight of the cover makes you wanna hurl.
