With Peacemaker, Texas Hippie Coalition keeps improving. With 2010's Rollin, the band caught some attention with their Southern-tinged heavier rock and metal. But the album was clearly weighted to the heavier side of things, with little variation after the first half. Peacemaker improves upon their Pantera-type Texas red dirt metal: more groove, more hooks, yet still heavy. And, cripes, they have a ballad, almost a love song with the closing tune Think of Me. What's up with that...

First impression? Clever name. Texas Hippie Coalition's Rollin' is worth consideration. Then push play. Crap, more downtuned American heavy rock. Several spins later: shit, this little band from Texas is pretty damn good. THC is a bit southern rock and very much Texas bronc busting bravado in a heavy rock to metal wrapper. Consider Lynyrd Skynryd meeting with Metallica and Pantera at a West Texas crossroads, then add a little ZZ Top like accessibility, and you may have the soundscape...
