Metal Hammer’s Malcolm Dome reviewed ‘Up The Dosage’ in the magazine’s April issue, stating that “Unashamed party animals, Nashville Pussy haven’t sounded this strong since debut album ‘Let Them Eat Pussy’ in 1998. Atlanta’s fiery four piece clearly don’t give a damn, they’re just doing what comes naturally and that means pulling together references from Motorhead, Ted Nugent, Aerosmith and Skynyrd, alongside a huge dose of redneck attitude, while never losing their ribald sense of humour. It’s obvious on ‘Everybody’s Fault But Mine’, which owes something to Mountain, and carries on through the Motorhead-fuelled ‘Rub It To Death’ and ‘Spent’. They then hook up the trailer for the ZZ Top snout for ‘Beginning Of The End’ before getting countrified for ‘Hooray For Cocaine, Hooray For Tennessee’. This is Skynyrd with tongues in cheek, while ‘Pillbilly Blues’ hitches a ride to an AC/DC groove circa ‘Let There Be Rock’ and ‘Pussy’s Not A Dirty Word’ could belong in the Aerosmith box. Yep, this is loud American rock’n’roll, with no frills, no regrets.”
Nashville Pussy were formed in Atlanta, Georgia, in 1996. Their unique blend of southern metal, boogie rock and psychobilly and songs about sex, drugs, drinking, fighting and rock ‘ n’ roll soon won a huge cult following in America. “We were tired of seeing and hearing bands that were just going through rock’s 101 motions, all slick but with no real soul. So we decided to play the kind of music that we would like to hear,” comments co-founder Ruyter Suys on the birth of the band. Their debut album, ‘Let Them Eat Pussy’, released in 1998, spawned a 1999 ‘Best Metal Performance’ Grammy for the single ‘Fried Chicken and Coffee’. Ever since, Nashville Pussy, one of the hardest working bands on the planet, have embarked on strenuous annual gig marathons, touring with the likes of Lynyrd Skynyrd, Reverend Horton Heat or ZZ Top, and starring at major festivals such as Wacken Open Air, as well as headlining in their own right. The group’s ‘High As Hell’ (2000), ‘Say Something Nasty’ (2002) and ‘Get Some’ (2005), studio albums all caused an international stir, followed by rave reviews of 2009’s ‘From Hell To Texas’.
