Nashville Pussy

About

Nashville Pussy is the unapologetic embodiment of Southern rock rebellion, a band that marries raw, high-octane energy with a devil-may-care attitude. Since their formation in 1996, the Atlanta-based quartet has carved out a niche as purveyors of raucous, riff-heavy rock 'n' roll, blending elements of punk, metal, and blues into a sound that’s as gritty as it is infectious. Fronted by the husband-and-wife duo of Blaine Cartwright and Ruyter Suys, the band’s music is a sonic Molotov cocktail, fueled by Suys’ blistering guitar work and Cartwright’s snarling vocals. Their breakthrough came with their 1998 debut album, *Let Them Eat Pussy*, which earned them a Grammy nomination for Best Metal Performance. Tracks like “Fried Chicken and Coffee” became anthems for fans of unpolished, high-energy rock. Over the years, Nashville Pussy has maintained their reputation as relentless road warriors, touring extensively and earning a cult following for their electrifying live shows. Culturally, Nashville Pussy stands as a defiant counterpoint to sanitized mainstream rock, embracing themes of hedonism, rebellion, and Southern pride. Their collaborations with artists like Lemmy Kilmister of Motörhead and their appearances at major festivals like Hellfest have cemented their status as rock royalty. In recent years, the band has continued to release new music, including their 2020 album *Pleased to Eat You*, proving that their appetite for loud, unrelenting rock remains undiminished. With a legacy built on sweat, swagger, and sheer volume, Nashville Pussy remains a force to be reckoned with.
