MOONSHINE BANDITS mashed up their genre-defying backwoods country soul and hip-hop fusion with Josh Todd and Stevie D. from BUCKCHERRY in their brand new single and music video for “Wild”.
“We wanted a rock vibe for ‘Wild’ and Buckcherry was the perfect match for that song,” said Dusty ‘Big Tex’ Dahlgren. “Our fanbase and Buckcherry’s fanbase crossover so I can see a future tour with us together.”
“Working with Josh was a great experience. His energy during the video shoot was ‘Wild’,” added Brett “Bird” Brooks. “It was nice to be able to connect with him on a personal level about similar experiences that we have shared from the stage and being in the business itself. He shared a story about playing for the USO over in Doha, Qatar that was absolutely incredible. He’s a very humble guy and all-around cool. Looking forward to having our paths align again in the future.”
MOONSHINE BANDITS have paved the way for the budding country/rap genre amassing a dedicated legion of fans who call themselves the “Shiner Nation” with their grassroots touring and rebellious, outlaw values. The California-based duo recently shared the second single from POUR DECISIONS entitled “I’m A Problem” which features Juno Award-winning Canadian rapper MADCHILD.
POUR DECISIONS, out July 14th, 2023, features 15-tracks that continue to show MOONSHINE BANDITS paving their own lane. The album takes its inspiration from the struggles and successes of America’s extraordinary era when dreams were being made while hunting for that elusive precious gem. Just like the rumrunners, bootleggers, smugglers, and outlaws of old, the MOONSHINE BANDITS provide a supply of goods for the demand, defying the mandates and trends of mainstream pop-culture. Playing off its title, the duo have also partnered with California Cowboy Whiskey to release Bucked Up Whiskey.

ABOUT MOONSHINE BANDITS:
Since their formation in Los Banos California in 2003, MOONSHINE BANDITS’ blue-collar work ethic and unwavering persistence has seen the band defy the mandates and trends of mainstream pop culture.

Long before people figured out country and rap had a lot in common, Moonshine Bandits were gaining critical acclaim from outlets including Rolling Stone, MTV, AOL, THE BOOT, YAHOO and their 2011 hit single “My Kind Of Country” peaked at #1 on CMT Music. The band continued to break barriers with their 2015 album BLACKED OUT which simultaneously landed on Billboard’s Top 10 Rap Albums (#10) and Top 15 Country Albums (#13). Moonshine Bandits average 2.3 million monthly streams across all platforms and to date have garnered over 260 million video views.
