Loaded is everything you have come to expect from The Von Ehrics and more. It is raw, powerful and authentic. Gabe Aguilar’s drums mix lightning fast train beats with an all out punk rock style. Jeffery Wayne Mosley’s bass lines walk like country songs in a metal setting. Robert Jason Vandygriff’s vocal style is one that reeks of whiskey-drenched gospel. All of this is layered with driving guitars that don’t rest. Lyrically The Von Ehrics are a bit more reflective at times on Loaded without straying too far from the unapologetic tone of whiskey, women and the road for which they are known. The record features guest appearances on lead guitar by Clayton Mills of Dixie Witch and Jake Middlefinger of Ghoultown on a smoking cover of Billy Joe Shaver’s “Old Chunk of Coal”. While Loaded uses the same formula that helped put The Von Ehrics on the map, it also shows that the band has more character and depth and will certainly be considered their best record to date.

"While there is a familiar sound from song to song, there is a good amount of diverse guitar found on the disc. At times, there will be southern guitar strumming, acoustic guitar, and even a blistering sound of punk rock. They construct songs that surround stories that most likely are of personal experiences whether it is traveling on the road, love or relationships."--Static Multimedia "The songs make use of standard pop formulas driven by distorted guitars that vary between power chords that play up the band’s rock, punk, and metal roots (”A Week of Living Dangerously”) and full sounding bar and open chords (”Worst Is Over”) that bring out the country. But even deeper country roots surface in the rapid fire snare drum, walking bass lines, and Texas born vocal delivery. A playful, easy-to-swallow cocktail of country, rock, punk, and metal is what they aim for, and they hit the bullseye."--Adequacy.net "Packed full of catchy hooks and relatively restrained vocals, there's not a weak moment amongst the album's 10 tracks."--Dallas Observer "Dallas cowpunks The Von Ehrics work the simplest of alt-country formulas: take the early Johnny Cash/Tennessee Three freight train rumble, speed it up, and distort the hell out of it.--Paste Magazine "Add to the subject matter the greasy, grooving licks of these numbers, and you have an album that will make a punker go country and turn a cowboy into a tattooed biker with a scraggly goatee."--Twangville | |||||||
