Texas Hippie Coalition

Texas Hippie Coalition plays a heavy, southern-fried strain of groove metal, thick riffs and biker rock swagger built for a crowd that likes their music loud and unpretentious. The band calls it "red dirt metal," a mix that pulls from Pantera-style groove and southern rock grit in equal measure.

They've built a following of well over 200,000 on Spotify, and they're headed to The Federal Theatre for a Colorado date. If you're into bands like Black Stone Cherry or Down, this one's worth a look.
