Nashville Pussy — Cassette

Intro

Nashville Pussy sounds like a head-on collision between AC/DC and Motörhead in the middle of a Georgia swamp. It is loud, unapologetic, and covered in a thin layer of motor oil and cheap bourbon. The guitars are thick and overdriven, favoring the kind of bluesy, pentatonic swagger that feels both dangerous and celebratory. It is music that refuses to overthink itself, prioritizing the visceral thrill of a power chord over any pretense of art.

What makes them distinctive is the chemistry between Blaine Cartwright's gravel-pit vocals and Ruyter Suys' virtuosic, frantic lead guitar work. While many bands attempt the 'sleaze rock' aesthetic, Nashville Pussy backs it up with genuine cowpunk speed and a rhythm section that hits like a sledgehammer. They manage to bridge the gap between the 70s arena rock of Ted Nugent and the 80s hardcore punk scene, creating a sound that is uniquely 'Southern' without being traditionalist.

Start with High as Hell. It captures the band at their most potent, featuring the Grammy-nominated 'Fried Chicken and Coffee.' It is the definitive gateway into their world of fast cars, hard liquor, and relentless riffs. If you enjoy that, move on to From Hell to Texas for a slightly more polished but equally aggressive take on their signature boogie-metal formula.

Nashville Pussy is an American rock band from Atlanta, Georgia. The band's lyrical themes mostly revolve around sex, drugs, drinking, fighting, and rock 'n' roll. Initially called Hell's Half-Acre, the band's name comes from Ted Nugent's introduction to "Wang Dang Sweet Poontang" on the Double Live Gonzo! album. Following the initial 1997 breakup of Kentucky cowpunk band Nine Pound Hammer, guitarist Blaine Cartwright formed Nashville Pussy where he would take up vocal duties in addition to guitar. The core lineup of Nashville Pussy consists of husband-and-wife duo Blaine Cartwright and Ruyter Suys (pronounced "Rider Sighs"), and drummer Jeremy Thompson, formerly of Texas band Phantom Creeps. Original drummer Adam Neal (Nine Pound Hammer) left to form the Hookers. Original bassist Corey Parks (sister of former basketball player Cherokee Parks) quit one month after the release of the album High as Hell, and later joined Die' Hunns. Tracy Almazan a.k.a. Tracy Kickass formerly of New York City's The Wives, and Helldorado was enlisted to replace Parks mid-tour. Nashville Pussy recorded Say Something Nasty with Almazan on bass only to be replaced by Katielynn Campbell (of the band Famous Monsters). Campbell's image is on the album Say Something Nasty. Campbell was subsequently replaced by Karen Cuda for the album Get Some. Karen Cuda also appeared as bassist on the album "From Hell to Texas", and in the live DVD Live in Hollywood. Nashville Pussy have released seven full-length studio albums, one EP and two live DVDs.
