The brainchild of vocalists and guitarists Bronson Hetzer, Ryan Palcic, and “Captain” Craig Bishop, The Filthy Heathens emerged against the backdrop of the pandemic out of a series of jam sessions back in 2021. Realizing they were on to something special following the addition of guitarist Cody Doench, the founding trio rapidly expanded their roster to include a second guitarist, Cavin Kemble — and with a full lineup secured, the rest was history.
Building on the work of influences from Lynyrd Skynyrd and Waylon Jennings, to Blackberry Smoke and The Steel Woods, The Filthy Heathens have since cultivated a diverse and growing fanbase around their rebellious, modern take on the traditional Southern rock-meets-underground country sound, with a polished approach reflecting the lineup’s collective past as songwriters, session and touring musicians.
Now, with momentum at an all-time high, the fearsome fivesome are now preparing to kick things up a notch for 2025, with their singles “Tupelo Sun “ and “Devils Like Me” leading up to the launch of “Etheridge”, their debut EP, planned for release in January. With a slew of out-of-state live performances under their belts in Mississippi, Florida, Kentucky, and Indiana, They have developed multiple anchor points for them to expand their reach from their Ohio base — a momentous step towards becoming a household name, nationwide and beyond.
