4H Royalty
Colossalalia

by Jason Heller (Westword, the Onion)

...Veering from twangy power pop to sultry Southern rock, 4H's debut packs a lot of twists and tangents into its seemingly simple songs. Granted, some of Boddicker's lyrics don't stray far from Drag territory, but even while celebrating such country-punk tropes, he invests them with a wordy wittiness that feels straight out of the Hold Steady's songbook. Colossalalia operates within a pretty tight framework — but Boddicker and crew manage to cram a lot of warmth, virtuosic licks, and even originality into the formula without tipping the whole thing over.

...A refreshing new take on country music. In the land of alt-country and shitty popular country music, 4H Royalty doesn’t quite fit into either category as you’d expect them to. There’s more of a rock sound to their music, but this is still really good country... The very first thing I noticed about this CD when I got it was that the insert and inlay was all cut out from a case of PBR and hand written in marker. I already knew I was going to enjoy this. The first thing I noticed about the album when I popped it in was the great sound. I have no idea how much it cost to record, but this thing sounds like a million bucks...all thirteen songs are damn good and shouldn’t be passed over...I will be looking forward to the next 4H Royalty album.
