Texas Hippie Coalition announce new album and stream new single 'Hell Hounds'

Heavy southern rock band Texas Hippie Coalition have announced the release of their seventh studio album, The Name Lives On, on 21st April 2023 via MNRK Heavy. The hard-hitting 10-track collection is another riff-heavy, sonic assault from beginning to end.

The first single, 'Hell Hounds,' proves this dog hunts right out of the gate.  With a punishing riff, frontman Big Dad Ritch growls, "And I know that you think you're so strong/And I've been sent to prove you wrong."

THC frontman Big Dad Ritch commented: “Where there once was an appetite for this style of music, I witnessed a hunger grow and now I see the lovers of real music starving for it. The name lives on is an album that is a dinner bell ringer… I was sent to ring that bell!!!” 
 
Texas Hippie Coalition are often compared to the many great southern rock and Texas bands that came before them.  But they are proving to the world that THC is not just following in their footsteps, they are leaving giant footprints.  Not only is the band etching out a place for themselves in the multi-genre fields of music, but they have also created their own genre in ‘Red Dirt Metal’. You have to hear it to understand it. Words are not enough to convey how powerfully big their sound is.

More information on Texas Hippie Coalition:

Big Dad Ritch captains this pirate ship of bikers, outlaws, troubadours, and hellraisers, welcoming all comers to the Texas Hippie Coalition party with gregarious charisma and Southern charm. Across a half dozen albums, countless club gigs, and show stealing performances at Rockstar Mayhem, THC has spread the good word of big riffs, big hooks, and wild times.
 
His hero was always Johnny Cash, but Ritch had once resigned himself to a quiet life of picket fences and fishing. But then, the stars aligned with Texas Hippie Coalition.
 
The storytelling of Big Dad Ritch (whose birth certificate reads James Earl Richard Anderson) was front and centre in the Red-Dirt-country-meets-hard-rock-and metal bluster of the band’s debut, Pride of Texas (2008) and its increasingly bombastic and hard charging follow-ups: Rollin’ (2010), Peacemaker (2012), Ride On (2014), and Dark Side of Black (2016). 'Turn it Up' and 'Damn You to Hell' even cracked the mainstream rock Top 40. 2019’s High in the Saddle saw the band expand internationally, gaining legions of fans across Europe and beyond. 
 
Ritch puts the band’s evolution in Old West terms. “In the beginning, you’re an outlaw looking for direction. You gotta get the best guys for the job behind you,” he explains. “Now we know how to rob banks, how to rob stagecoaches, and how to rob trains.”
 
Texas Hippie Coalition sounded just as at home sharing the stage with Korn and Black Label Society as they have been supporting Nazareth, Lynyrd Skynyrd, and David Allan Coe. Country trailblazers like Waylon Jennings and Johnny Cash are essential parts of THC’s lifeblood, intermingled with the Southern swagger of Molly Hatchet and ZZ Top; the Sunset Strip debauchery of Mötley Crüe and Van Halen; the heavy stoner grooves of Clutch and COC; and the metallic Texas-sized crunch of the late, great Abbott brothers.
