Moonshine Bandits

Blazing their own trail in the world of country rap, Moonshine Bandits have spent over a decade turning outlaw anthems into a movement — and in 2025, their fire burns hotter than ever. Hailing from California’s Central Valley, Tex and Bird have built a cult-like following on grit, grind, and grassroots hustle. With a sound that mashes up backwoods bravado, hip-hop swagger, and outlaw country soul, the Bandits are as comfortable on a honky tonk stage as they are in the middle of a mosh pit.

Bandits sparked a viral moment and launched their own fast-rising spirits brand, Bucked Up Churro Whiskey, that is the hottest whiskey on the market and catching fire in all of the biggest Beverage Chains. But beyond the accolades, it’s the outlaw lifestyle and diehard fanbase — the Shiner Nation — that drive the duo forward. No labels to answer to. No boxes to fit in. Just straight-up, no-apologies music for the wild ones who live loud, drink proud, and ride with the Bandits till the wheels fall off. Welcome to the outlaw party.
