Biography
The band released its Bloodshot debut, Buckle in the Bible Belt, to much acclaim in 2007, gaining praise from glossies like PASTE and Spin, and taste-making radio stations like KEXP. At year’s end, Popmatters Magazine named Buckle in the Bible Belt one of the best albums of 2007 (In fact, Buckle... was ranked #15 for the year, pulling ahead of those lauded indie rockers, Spoon -- Hey Britt, still call me, okay?). Ha Ha Tonka was also a featured performer at the 2008 Lollapalooza and Sundance Film festivals, and toured the US with Someone Still Loves You Boris Yeltsin, The Meat Puppets and Old 97's.
"If you sometimes wish Kings of Leon had a better singer and a more ferocious guitar, Ha Ha Tonka would probably be a good remedy." —The Other Paper
"I'm struck with how the band successfully combines punk rock energy, heartland rock and gospel fervor." —Songs: Illinois
