Metal Monday Volume 99 (12.3.12)
‘Tis the season to reflect on some badassery to come down the line in 2012 and none be more badass than Texas Hippie Coalition’s Big Dad Ritch. Earlier in the year, THC’s frontman was nice enough to speak with Metal Monday and Popblerd about Peacemaker (One of THE standout metal records of 2012) and all things Texas Hippie Coalition.

Miss Zakk Wylde’s Pride & Glory? Sounds like you’re in serious need of Texas Hippie Coalition , my friend! I know, I know. You’re skeptical of a metal band with “Hippie” in the title, right? So was I. One listen through their debut Rollin, though, and you’ll be a convert […]
