Two decades into an acclaimed roots-rock career, Austin-based outfit The Band of Heathens are proving they still have plenty of rebellious fire left in the tank. Following the success of their highly praised collaborative project alongside fellow Texas troubadour Hayes Carll, the veteran group is back to their fiercely independent ways.
Their latest release, Country Sides, serves as a bold, system-bucking statement. Unafraid to challenge the industry status quo, the band has adopted an unapologetic, anti-establishment ethos for this new era. As they cross the 20-year milestone, The Band of Heathens continue to solidify their reputation as uncompromising pillars of the Austin music scene, delivering raw, authentic music strictly on their own terms.
