Houndmouth - Penitentiary (official music video) 

So glad I found these guys. What a breath of fresh air in today's mindless music. Alternative isn't dead afterall.

Anyone else find themselves drinking to this track on repeat? What an absolute BANGER. Jesus.

Brilliant! I’m 70 years old and this is one of the best bands I have ever heard!

How does this not have a million views yet? I swear I've got at least 350k on this.

Friend showed me these guys a while back...still listening.

how is this not *massively* popular?

The next single should be titled, "Come Back Katie"

Can't remember the last time I listened to 8 songs from a band in a row on RU-vid. Goddamn.

I like your new sunglaaaasseeeeeeees 😎

caught this band on sun studio sessions, blown away by every one of the songs they played. I'm in my fifties and they got me hooked into their music

Sound Houndmouth last night at Artisphere and was totally impressed by their energy and harmonies!

Bands like Houndmouth give me hope for the future of music. The corporate crap spewed out by the likes of American Idol pale beside the talent of these four musicians.

nice, reminds me very much of the felice brothers.

not sure who to compare it too. A powerful song for sure! 2 years ago first heard it AND ROCKS in 2017, 2018 and BEYOND!

Amazing these guys are still somewhat underground mad talent

they are amazing

True talent. Makes ya believe and hope in music again... Come tour Australia!

Saw them live when they opened for Dry the River. Best show ive ever been to by far!

I saw these guys last night in Jackson. They opened for Alabama Shakes. I wish they would've gotten to play more songs.

this make love music

Songs like this make me miss addiction 😂... 😢

i saw them at high sierra and they were definitely one of the highlights of the festival

Houndmouth pumped you guys are coming to CT next week!

Saw them there too! Hadn't heard of them once before Bonnaroo, great show and now hooked!

Old Town in the Highlands! Nice. They have a great selection of wine, beer, and liquor. I still wish they carried Lotsa Pasta cheese...but pretty awesome to find it in a video for a song I effing love! Lol. Hometown love.

They sound like a 60's folk band on this one. On the faster paced songs, you can hear a little 70's & 80's punk style in the music.

I saw them last night at the Santa Monica Pier TOO GOOD

This is amazing! gives me chills everytime I listen to it💜

I can relate to this, good song and a hell of band,

Can't stop listening to this one!

favourite band right noww

Good Americana. Love this

I can't wait to see you guys live someday.

Just listening to their interview on bbc radio with Dermot O' Leary. I like this song.

am i the only one who thinks that these people are freaking amazing? wish i still lived in southern indiana to come see you - or that my brother didnt leave louisville.

I go on friday in 4AD in Diksmuide Belgium to look at these band, I think it will be fun

Wish they would come to Ireland, I guess Dry the River was a nice bonus!

Saw you on Letterman. Got yer album yesterday. Love it. Keep up the good work. Keep your heads on straight. - from near Philly, PA -

Very good melody. This band is going to make it big. Sound is crisp and solid. Going on Conan TV

Unexpected new favorite.

Heard on John Kennedy this morning.... Brilliant.

saw them last night in San Diego at the Lagunitas Brew Couchtippin concert and they were excellent. Love the homage to Pistol Pete 44 and the keyboard/singer has a unique voice that will propel them far in the business.

Beautiful song from a beautiful new band - hope to hear many more songs from them in the future

sounds like the band. this is intimidatingly good.

this song should be a top 40 hit soon!

heard you for the first time this morning, immediately looked you up and shared on facebook. Love the songs

Best accident I've ever stumbled across!

Saw them last night in Little Rock. AWESOME LIVE SHOW! they look a lot younger in person though

I saw them at ACL 2013, they were damn good.

oh yeah just bought my ticket for june 27th at divan orange...see ya there fellows!

saw in Nola and you guys rocked.

Great tune and video.

You guys did awesome at Billy Bobs yesterday!

no joke, take it from me, this band is gonna blow up hard.

Love it!

Very good melody. This band is getting good reviews going bigtime! On Conan TV

Can't wait to see them in Asheville this Saturday! Also I wonder where she got those shoes I love them!!

songs bound to hit it biiiiiig

Sounds like they took some influence from The Band.

Gavin sent me

11 years old

This sound so f-ing good

Excellent

The bassist looks like the Russell, the guitarist, from Almost Famous!

Damn I'm really beginning to like these guys1

awesome song. something old school about it. would be great if we could get some guitar chords/riffs, i would love to jam to this song.

too good.

i really want you to come in dungus maung!!!!!!!!!!!!!! pleaseeeee

would yall believe the sounds of me makein a knife were supposed to be in the background of this song? :)

awesome

love Houndmouth :)

Drivin' and Crying?

They remind me of The Band

i like the harmonies in this version better, but the tempo is a bit slow compared to the re-recording on the new record. Either way, love it.

Definitely in my top 10 favorites of all time. Great Jam

A Band we can understand. The other song Sedona sounds kind of like mamas and papas from the 60s

I LIKE IT! This bands got my attention, and 4 good reason, they are really good. I look. Forward 2 hearing more from them. What do u, the listening fan's have 2 say? I hope 2 see your response sometime soon? Until then, stay loyal, and keep the faith. Peace.

hi im matthew mccounoughey, and im matthew mccounoughey in a indy alternative band.

Great song guys. Cool vibe. I like the whole EP. Book 930 CLub in DC and come play the capital!

Ah, now I've got my fix - since The Jayhawks are kinda quiet... excellent band - album is sol-id

Love it but isn't that a James bond villain playing some awesome bass? Jaws ?

G and C chord. Move Capo up and down neck till you find a comfortable key in which to sing.

Houndmouth brought me here... :)

This bands parents had good taste in music

sounds like a mix between dawes & deer tick & felice brothers.

just heard them on Conan O' Brien, and i was like "WOWWWWOWOWOW. I have to have them on my iPod to jam out in my car. :))))"

This is such a funny song!

I would have never thought this is a really hipster band when I first heard on spotify

Hey, you're cool.

Indiana FTW!!

this version is different than the record version

Wispy!

Sounds like The Band

they opened for driveby truckers and it should have been vice versa

see ya

nice of The Strokes bassist to fill in

now Im shifting squares with a man from Arkansaw

Blues in e minor 1979

I hid a batch in Frisco I Couldn't score a job So I did the next best thing and I learned how to rob I took that train to Houston But I couldn't get away From the five and dime about the time The constable would say Come on down To the Penitentiary Oh momma the law came crashing down on me Playing stud in the evening And Solitaire at night Leon has the cigarettes and Capone has got the light Now I'm shifting squares with a man from Arkansas He took my rook oh Lord and my king's about to fall Come on down To the Penitentiary Oh momma the law came crashing down on me And I'm calling from a pay phone Down around Lawrence Bend Got me a pardon son Gonna do it all again Come on down To the Penitentiary Oh momma the law came crashing down on me Come on down To the Penitentiary Oh momma the law came crashing down on me
