The sound has been called a "jambalaya" by press and "country fried jam" by fans alike. Take it from the name, The Hipnecks, which combines the words "Hippie" and "Redneck" as affectionately as it unites trucker hats and flip-flops. Within that sentiment lays their genre-bending approach to making music. Music that is, in every way, firmly rooted beneath their feet in the fertile floodplains of the American Midwest. Rock & roll with hues of bluegrass. It is twangy. It is Ozarkian. It is most certainly Missourian - and there is nothing to the contrary about it.
“Absolutely twangy, good old-fashioned American Rock & Roll - a sound that makes sense when you consider their name, a combination of "hippy" and "redneck." Their enthusiasm for their craft is obvious and infectious!”

“The foot-stomping pluckiness of pure Americana. Their pieces catch on and force you to full-on dance,”

“POWER! Goddam, that was a fun ride! I would pay to see this band play live every night of the week!”
Bob - Uncut
“Their genre-bending tunes pay as little attention to pigeon holes as they do”
Vox Magazine
“Combining musical elements of Rock, Jazz, Funk, and even Bluegrass, the five members of The Hipnecks have conjured a sound all their own”
