Before they evolved into the three-headed beast known as Nether Hour, Bercy and Bishop were stirring up trouble in a band called Swamp Brew, while Bobby was raising hell in his own outfit. It was only a matter of time before these wild spirits would collide, and when they did, the real madness began. With a cosmic twist of fate involving JaRon Marshall of the Black Pumas and 2018’s SXSW, Bobby, Bishop, and Bercy have been carving out a niche in Austin’s music scene, including a stint as the Kill Tony after-party band for over a year.

On Friday, March 14, 2025, the group released MOONSHINE — an eight-track album that promises to be the raucous, intoxicating follow-up to their previous escapade, SUNSHINE. Released through Nether Family Records, MOONSHINE bottles the unbridled energy of their live shows into a sonic elixir so potent, it’ll make you tipsy just by listening. It’s a fierce concoction of deep grooves, smooth vocals, and irresistible beats, crafted from late-night jam sessions and back-alley dives where the whiskey flows as freely as the music.

MOONSHINE distills the very essence of Nether Hour: raw, untamed, and deeply rooted in Austin’s vibrant music culture. This forthcoming record feels like a midnight drive with every twist revealing something new — a searing solo, a thumping bassline, or an unstoppable beat. These guys are the real deal, blending Southern grit with the ability to shift from bluesy riffs to swampy grooves in a heartbeat.

Influences and Sound:
Imagine a hell-bent voyage into the dizzying depths of musical madness, blending Little Dragon’s anarchic funk, the unfiltered ferocity of the Rolling Stones, and D’Angelo’s sultry haze. Add Wayne Toups’ bayou insanity, Freddy Fender’s outlaw twang, Santana’s trippy rock, and the polished harmonies of the Eagles and Crosby, Stills & Nash. Sprinkle in AC/DC’s thunderous riffs, Thin Lizzy’s swagger, and Jungle’s groove-driven mayhem, and you’ve got Nether Hour. Read more on Last.fm.
