ROOTS-INFUSED PSYCH ROCK BAND, NOCONA TO RELEASE LOS DOS Digital Release July 10 Venice, CA —Nocona is a band that is comfortable inhabiting the nebulous space you find between psychedelic rock and classic country music.  “We don’t neatly fit into any pop, country or ‘alt’ country category,” explains Chris Isom. “We tip our hats to a lot of traditional music and have a tremendous amount of respect for the varied and storied forms of Americana music, but we also do a lot of weird far out stuff. We take a lot of chances musically and we like it that way.”

NASHVILLE, TENN. (May 1, 2020) — As current single “One Beer” (feat. Lauren Alaina & Devin Dawson) soars into Country radio’s Top 40, Big Loud Records loud-and-rowdy hitmaker HARDY launches into center stage again today with his first new music delivery of 2020, unreleased fan favorite “BOOTS,” available at all streaming platforms and digital retailers now.  Written by HARDY with David Garcia and Hillary Lindsey and produced by Joey Moi and Derek Wells, “BOOTS” is a story song, weaving rhyme-schemes effortlessly and running through a bad choice, breakup night with ease the morning after. Marking the start of a new era of HARDY signatures, “BOOTS” is soaked in grunge production and simmering with backwoods attitude, unveiling yet another layer to his multifaceted artistry.  “I’m so glad this song is out in the world,” shares HARDY. “‘BOOTS’ is a perfect representation of who I am as an artist. It’s a country lyric but it sounds like a rock and roll song.”
