AMG Review of Southern Hospitality

Jared Johnson
All Music Guide

Southern Hospitality is a well-executed blend of old and new hard rock, mixing the band's nu-metal flavor from 2006's Scars Remain with a strong dose of Southern rock that fits better than anyone might expect. The result is a hybrid of melodic, '80s-style rock that, like most of Disciple's previous releases, fits to form the band's message. The guys seem at their prime rhythmically, as they churn out the beat-heavy bombast of "Phoenix Rising" and "321." The music is catchy, rootsy, passionate, and glamorous all at the same time. It is a treat for fans of Black Crowes-esque full-force rock that doesn't have to be overly produced to get its point across.
