Rockers Hillbilly Vegas have released their new album ‘A La Mode‘. Known for their relatable lyrics and raucous live shows, this latest LP showcases a band firing on all cylinders as their career continues to grow. The LP was self-produced at their home studio in Oklahoma and is available in digital, CD and Vinyl formats through Quarto Valley Records.
The album focus track is the hard-driving ‘Miss America‘. The song delves into the seeming inevitability of troubles and strife when the fire of wanting someone overcomes rational thought. The band’s Steve Harris explains “It’s a love song for bad decisions. ‘Miss America’ is what happens when desire wins the argument and reason storms out”. The song is buoyed by chugging guitars, a thunderous rhythm section, and a sustained keyboard line with an earworm chorus that evokes the Rolling Stones, mixed with a dose of .38 Special for good measure.
Track list:
- Miss America (3:34)
- Down the Honkytonk (3:12)
- Let it Ride (3:11)
- Every Jukebox in Town (4:14)
- Find Me Yesterday (4:05)
- Mr. Midnight (Featuring Paul Rodgers) (3:24)
- Feels Good (3:21)
- Something Crazy (3:44)
- Bound to Run (4:01)
- I Hope You Know (3:22)
- Holding On (3:09)
The band has signed with renowned booking agency TKO, and dates are being finalized in support of the album release, with a tour starting in August.
About Hillbilly Vegas:
Hillbilly Vegas’ dynamic sound caught the ears of an independent label in Nashville in 2011, and their first album ‘Ringo Manor‘ was released and sold more than 10,000 copies – driven by the hit single ‘Little Miss Rough and Tumble‘. The band has gone on to chart 5 songs on Billboard’s Rock charts, including ‘Let It Ride‘ – which remained on the chart for 13 weeks and reached #10, ‘Feels Good‘, ‘High Time For A Good Time‘, ‘Hell To Pay‘, ‘Two Gun Town‘, and fan favorite ‘Shake It Like A Hillbilly‘.
The band has earned a reputation for rousing live shows – bringing a loud, party-like atmosphere that is all-inclusive. They’ve shown they have a broad appeal across different genres, pleasing crowds while performing shows with rockers Blackberry Smoke, The Kentucky Headhunters, Wolfsbane and Ted Nugent; along with country icons Alabama, Travis Tritt, Blake Shelton, and Wynonna Judd. Hillbilly Vegas has played before huge crowds at NASCAR events, as well as many major bike rallies, including the legendary annual Sturgis Motorcycle rally. They have a strong UK following, and have played the Maid of Stone and Steelhouse festivals. The band is managed by David Spero (Joe Walsh, Cat Stevens/Yusef Islam, Bad Company). Tour dates are being booked in support of the album release for later this year.
