Holy Moly

**Holy Moly** is a raucous country-rock outfit hailing from Austin, Texas, known for blending twangy outlaw energy with a punk-rock sneer. Formed in 2018, the band—fronted by gravel-voiced singer-guitarist Jesse "Buck" Buchanan and anchored by drummer Lila Rae Thompson’s thunderous beats—has carved out a niche with rowdy live shows and lyrics that flip between hard-living tales and tongue-in-cheek social commentary. Their 2022 breakout album *Holy Moly* (featuring fan favorites like "Grasshopper Cowpunk" and "Drinkin' Druggin' & Lovin’") cemented their reputation as modern cowpunk revivalists, while tracks like "Brothers' Keepers" showcase their knack for storytelling with a whiskey-soaked heart. They’ve built a grassroots following through relentless touring, DIY ethos, and a knack for turning dive-bar chaos into anthems for the disenchanted.
