Our New album SPRIT OF TRADITION is out now on bandcamp, itunes, cdbaby, and anywhere you get your music fix.
Hailing from South Louisiana, Vermilion Whiskey is a working man's band, steeped in whiskey fueled Rock-N-Roll tradition. Their musical roots run deep like river veins stretched across their beloved home state & beyond. VW lives for the thrill of the stage, no matter the crowd size, you will find 101 proof Vermilion Whiskey. Where the good times roll, they can be found, sharing their own brand of hard-nosed rhythms with any and all who live to pass a good time! Long live the riff!
"They understand the history of what they do – the album title is surely a nod to that after all – but the six songs here are quite, quite brilliant and thoroughly fresh.In the spirit of tradition this may be, but dirty, grimy, southern rock n roll does not sound better than this at any point.Rating 9/10" - Maximum Volume Music
“This is shit kicking rock and roll at its finest, and while the band certainly isn't breaking any rules or pushing new and exciting boundaries by god are they fun to listen too. These guys wail away for the six tracks that make up Spirit Of Tradition and leave you with your fist in the air and a smile on your face. I think what gets me about Vermilion Whiskey is their willingness to go from straight up rock and roll to some surprisingly doomy moments, and they run all of through a blues sensibility that is nothing short of delicious. The booming crunch of songs like The Past Is Dead speaks to a rolling guitar playing style that can't help but to charm time and time again. There is the same sort of youthful energy and arrogance here that made so many of the worlds greatest rock and roll bands so goddamn virile to begin with. Spirit Of Tradition gives you something to sink your teeth into and enjoy time and time again.” - Two Guys Metal Reviews

about, the tradition of getting together with friends, plugging in and turning up to ten. Yep, cranking the volume and tackling the instruments with as much gusto and vigor that you can muster and letting the music do the talking. Vermilion Whiskey are gatdamned musical rebels keeping the spirit of Southern Rock/Metal much more than merely just alive…it’s thriving and living large!” - Metal Nexus show more
I need a list of active rock bands from Lake Charles and surrounding areas. I am interested in booking a yearly concert series and several shows a year. Looking for bands with members in their 20s early 30s....and go!
