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.
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.
