BIO

The Filthy Heathens are a hard-hitting Rock band built on grit, sweat, and songs that tell the truth. Formed by Bronson Hetzer, Ryan Palcic, "Captain" Craig Bishop, Cody Doench, and Dawson Stepp, they've carved out a sound where Southern rock, outlaw country, metal and hard-driving Americana collide.

Known for leaving everything on the stage, The Filthy Heathens have earned a reputation for rowdy, high-energy shows and a relentless work ethic that's built a fast-growing fanbase across the country.

Their debut EP, Etheridge, put the band on the map in 2025 with "Tupelo Sun" and "Devils Like Me." They followed it with The Muscle Shoals Session in February 2026, recorded live at the legendary Muscle Shoals Sound Studio with no tricks, no overdubs, and no hiding. The standout track, "Diamonds in the Rough," has surpassed 2.5 million streams across platforms, further fueling the band's rise.

Next up is the band's biggest statement yet—a full-length album recorded at the legendary Sonic Ranch. Set for release in late summer, the record captures The Filthy Heathens at their rawest—louder, tighter, and unapologetically themselves. It's the sound of a band that's earning it the hard way, one mile and one stage at a time.
