"While Denver has come into its own as a medium-sized cosmopolitan center, we still love our rural roots. The National Western Stock Show is still one of our city’s biggest events, our professional football team is named after livestock and an equine demon guards our fancy airport. Perhaps that’s why a large and visible portion of our music scene has also maintained its ties to the country. Slim Cessna, Munly, 16 Horsepower and Drag the River (among many others) all like a little twang with their rock-n-roll, and 4H Royalty is welcome addition to that tradition.

Earlier this year, the quartet — Zach Boddicker (who has played with Drag the River, Marty Jones, and the Railbenders) on guitar and vocals, Andrew Porter (you might know him from Dicky Jaguar) on bass and vocals, Robert Buehler on drums and Jamie Mitchell on all sorts of things — quietly released its debut, “Colossalalia.” The album’s 13 tracks are steeped in a uniquely rural kind of swagger and desperation that comes from owning the shiniest Pontiac Fiero in town, pouring Wild Turkey in your morning coffee and knowing you’re meant for bigger things..."
