In the Media
LA Weekly Music Editor, Nicholas Pell, listed Hellbound Glory #2 in his list of '10 Country Artists You Should Be Listening To' feature; describing the band's music in part as, 'Think of them as evoking the energy of the wildest party Waylon, Willie and Bocephus ever had.'
Washington Post Music Editor, Chris Richards, featured Hellbound Glory's 'LV' as a part of the newspaper's 'This Month's Best Music' column describing the release; 'The “country” that country singers so often pine for can be a sanctuary, a playground, a paradise. But for Leroy Virgil of Hellbound Glory, it’s a twilight zone where his cell phone won’t work. “No service, so nervous,” he sings sheepishly on his confident new EP. “Nothin’ on the radio.”
