In the heart of Austin’s vibrant music scene, there’s a band stirring up emotions and breaking boundaries with their latest release, “(2-Inch) Grave”. We Don’t Ride Llamas, an Afro Punk/Metal sensation, has unleashed an anthem that transcends mere sound, delving deep into the realms of raw emotion and storytelling prowess.

Formed by Chase, Max, Blake, and Kit Mitchell, We Don’t Ride Llamas is not your usual band; they’re storytellers, weaving narratives through their music. Influenced by an eclectic mix of musical legends such as Robert Johnson, Jimi Hendrix, and Sister Rosetta Tharp, WDRL pays homage to their predecessors while carving out their own unique sound.

Their new song “(2-Inch) Grave” pays homage to the victims of Winter Storm Uri which had a devastating impact on Texas in February 2021. Reflecting on the genesis of the track, the band shares the harrowing experience that inspired it: “I didn’t know if our family was going to make it out alive. We had never been that cold before, especially not without sufficient help. I’m grateful that our community was there for us.”

But “(2-Inch) Grave” isn’t just about reliving past traumas; it’s about finding solace and connection. We Don’t Ride Llamas invites listeners to join them on a cathartic journey, where shared experiences and emotions converge. It’s a musical space where vulnerability is celebrated, and no one feels alone.
