Release Notes:


"The Band of Heathens, an Austin-based group, played the best set I came across

during my five nights in town (at SXSW 2009)."

Jim Fusilli, Wall Street Journal


"With their wealth of wonderful tunes, it's easy to see why Texas music great

Ray Wylie Hubbard signed on to produce this fabulous first effort."

Michael Berick, No Depression


"Their music balances 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, they conjure a post-modern roots rock...This debut may establish the

band as the next big thing from Austin." - Vintage Guitar Magazine, The Hit List


"Most bands are lucky to have one good songwriter in the group and super lucky

to have two. This band has three poets who can deliver at the top of anyone's

lyrical game. They all three are songwriting treasures one of the best

Americana records ever made." - Keith Howerton, Texas Music Times


"This is real spit and sawdust Southern rock with tremendously gritty vocals and

scything guitars." - David Knowles, Maverick Magazine


"The Band of Heathens make the transition from live recordings to the studio

pleasingly well on this 2008 release." - Alex Henderson, All Music Guide


"If you're an Americana radio station and you don't play this record, then

you're not an Americana radio station. The Band of Heathens are, by far, my

favorite discovery in the last 2 years." - Mattson Rainer, KNBT


"The Austin five-piece performs its original bar-band country and Americana

music exceptionally well." - Pete Freedman, Dallas Observer


"The Band of Heathens' first, self-titled studio CD has a variety of good

roots-rock songs that encompass folk and country and even a bit of gospel. It's

a good listen." Tom Geddie, Buddy Magazine


"Don't miss this good time excursion into the roots of the Music of today, sure

is hard to get its honest grooves and good time feel out of the system. " - Bob

Gottlieb, FAME


"Austin is the hub of all things Americana, folk and alt-country. And The Band

of Heathens have risen to the top of that heap." - Craig Bonnell, Songs:

Illinois


"The Band of Heathens' self-titled album serves as a real treat to country rock

and roots rock connoisseurs with its blend of rich vocals, ballad and upbeat

sides, and rootsy rhythms propelled by good musicians." - Jeff Boyce, Jupiter

Index


There is a comfort and ease in the material and lyrics; a perfect marriage of

roots and jam allows the casual tone of the songs work anywhere from a back

porch party to a packed club. Even in their studio effort it is clear The Band

of Heathens loves playing this music they create together. The release will

solidify their reputation in the American music scene. Vintage Guitar

Magazine



"Leave it to The Band of Heathens to release TWO live albums before their studio

debut. Because these guys obviously have their own ideas about how to do things

and that comes through loud and clear on their new record. It was WELL worth

the wait. This ain't genericamericana. This is greasy and right." Jody Denberg

KGSR Content Manager


"Remember that you read it here first, The Band of Heathens are headed for

stardom!" - Joe Montague, Riveting Riffs


"Smart southern/country rock that has some heartland heart running through it as

well. A sure bet for anyone that's ever grooved to that vibe and wants more

without it being more of the same." - Chris Spector, Midwest Record


"Definitely recommended: here's a new band that's worth keeping your eyes on."

Lawrence Kay, Joe Sixpack's Record Riot


"The Band of Heathens... kinda like if Rimbaud, Keats, and Rilke strapped on

guitars and hooked up with a bad ass rhythm section... literary and sinfully

cool." - Ray Wylie Hubbard


Lord, I love this Austin band! Rootsy, bluesy rock in the best Austin sense

that feels like it s been cooking for decades. Four Stars. - Michael Barnes

Austin American-Statesman


Over the past 16 years I've received my fair share of recorded live albums

but the Band Of Heathens Live From Momo's truly has no equal. A Top Rank

5-Star effort by all and in my humble opinion: One of the best albums to ever

come out of Austin. -Eddie Russell, 3rd Coast Music


Previously, I have been fortunate to catch live performances by such greats as

Albert King, B.B. King, James Taylor, John Lee Hooker, Lightnin Sam Hopkins

jazz great Charles Mingus and The Who. These guys are that good. The Band of

Heathens are not unlike The Band back in the early days, the days of Music From

Big Pink. - Paul Heidelberg, editor, Canyon Lake Times Guardian


The Band of Heathens are a rich musical m lange of stunning harmonies and

dizzying range. Only superstars can comprise supergroups, but the Band of

Heathens prove that sometimes a group of top-notch specialists can capture

similar magic. FOUR STARS. - Patrick Nichols, This Is Texas Music
