GPAW.NIMBY — heavy metal hoedown: country-metal music, new singles and the Sleeping With Shotgun era
Get Off My Lawn
Eight tracks of backroad gospel, bluegrass swagger and riffs heavy enough to dent a tailgate. From “4 Leaf Clover” to “Kool-Aid Whiskey.”
Country boy.
Metal heart.
GPAW.NIMBY is what happens when a front-porch picker plugs into a stack that's way too loud for the neighborhood. Bluegrass runs, gospel hooks and outlaw attitude — run through distortion and served with a side of gravy.
“Not in my backyard. Hillbillies only.”
One hat, loud amps, zero apologies. Get off the lawn — or grab a chair and turn it up.
Ride with the posse
New drops, show dates and the stuff that doesn't make it past the porch. No spam — we're too busy.
