Panther City Rebellion Podcast

Hells Half Acre is a heavy metal band from Fort Worth, Texas — named after the city’s most notorious red-light district, a lawless stretch of saloons, outlaws, and vice that put Fort Worth on the map in the 1800s. The name fits. The music delivers on every promise the name makes.
Built around the vocal ferocity of Josh Stone McDade, the guitar weaponry of Ryan Shultz, the thunderous low end of Noah Niemann, and the relentless percussion of Christian Bednarski — HHA brings heavy, aggressive metal to stages across North Texas with zero compromise and maximum damage.
