HTR (Holy Trinity River, I’m a bit confused about whether they use the initials or the whole name) is a three-piece band out of Brooklyn, via Texas, and boy does it show. Let It Die is their second EP and it is stripped down and country-fried guitar rock. HTR channels the same alt-country influences The Honorary Title or The Meadows, but Let It Die foregoes the emphasis on pop melodies and really digs into the blues roots of rock music. The result is gritty, no-frills rock that would be just as at home in a backwoods bar fifty years ago as it is in Brooklyn today.
Standout track is “The Shaker.”

I haven’t heard any of their music, but the fact that their making it is an inspiration to me.
the mother fuckers are the shitznitz word to your mother ……… they fucking rock even thou i never heard a song but some on told me they iight
This band is freakin awesome. They’re original for a change instead of other Brooklyn bands who blatently rip off other bands and try to be obnoxious emo indie bullshit. Those bands are fake and insincere but this band is honest and downright can rock so hard you’ll be begging for mercy. And buy this album also because the girl on the front cover is sexy, she’s got major cleavage going on. You should get the album and look at the cover while listening to the great music by HTR.
