Quality Southern Rock Delivered by “Thieves and Liars”

These fellas were rockin’ long hair, moustaches, jean jackets and vintage guitars; matched with an unapologetic Southern hard rock style. Clearly, they pushed aside the popular to embrace a genre from rock and roll’s past. And without a doubt, they do deliver!

Introducing Hip-Hop Artists, Level 3:16
