Evanescence isn\u2019t the only hard-rock band to make Arkansas proud. Little Rock\u2019s Terminal Nation, plus the late-\u201990s outfits Burned Up Bled Dry and Kill Order come to mind\u2014and now so does Zashed.<\/p>\n

A 2023 debut, Pride. Progress. Potential., is an ode to the South that does not pull punches about the region\u2019s ugly history, and the quartet built on that foundation last year with the release of Hue and Cry.<\/p>\n

The eight-track outing is a love letter to The Natural State and an exemplar of what metallic hardcore from this corner of the country can sound like.<\/p>\n
