4H Royalty - Press
"Unabashedly proud of their rural/western roots...a really effective mix of the contemporary and the classic, the urban and the rural. Not everyone who lives in a �flyover� state is a reactionary hick; these guys upend any number of negative stereotypes someone might have about the types of people who live here. I love bands that can do that, as well as walk that line between genres as well as they do." -- Runeii - Ten Thousand Words in a Cardboard Box "4H Royalty's music is not concerned with the normal crucibles of alt.country: stabs at rural "authenticity," put-on twangs, well-tread cliches. Instead, lead singer and lyricist Zach Boddicker creates song structures that alternate between narrative and lyric impulses, between honest emotion and off-kilter snapshots of rural and western life." -- Matthew Fluharty Ph.D - Art of the Rural Overview 4H Royalty: The Virtues, Spices & Liquors of Home by Runeii (Ten Thousand Words In a Cardboard Box) Liars & Outliers -era L & O review on Adobe & Teardrops L & O review on NineBullets L & O review by A.H.
