We Don’t Ride Llamas Pay Tribute To The Victims Of Winter Storm Uri With “(2-Inch) Grave” Single

Austin, TX metallic afro punks We Don’t Ride Llamas have released their new single, (2-Inch) Grave, via streaming platforms. As self-proclaimed nerds, the band pays homage to legendary musicians who paved the way for their genre-bending approach, drawing inspiration from icons like Robert Johnson, Little Richard, Chuck Berry, Jimi Hendrix, Death and the pioneering Sister Rosetta Tharp. While all these influences mold their sound with deep respect for the origins of rock, punk, and metal, the band channels raw emotion and storytelling prowess with their own and unique signature sound.

On February 10th 2021, Winter Storm Uri tore through the state of Texas, dumping several inches of snow, covering the streets in ice, and leaving thousands of denizens without power for days in below-freezing temperatures. Despite having been warned about the severity of the storm well ahead of time, owners of the privatized power grid decided that weather-proofing wasn’t in their best interest. 246 human deaths were recorded across 77 Texas counties, but the actual number is estimated to be closer to 900 due to the volume of deaths amongst the homeless. (2-Inch) Grave was written to honor their memory and to protest against the greed that claimed their lives.

“This song is extremely close to our heart and is an accurate portrayal of how we all felt inside out during that storm. 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. We hope this song reaches and consoles anyone who hears it. We hope anyone who went through what we did feels this song and knows they are not alone.”
