Hudson - the emerging Los Angeles-based four-piece rock 'n' roll band - have announced that their five-track sophomore EP, Cast Out, will be released independently on Wednesday, October 21st via iTunes and the band's website. Fans will be able to pre-order the EP on iTunes beginning Monday, September 21st. The EP's lead single/title track can be streamed below.
 
"We wrote Cast Out after a very traumatic, and in the end, unfair situation that left us feeling a lot of anger towards the perpetrators," says Llewellyn. "We felt as if the justice system had let us down, and that the guys who did it felt zero remorse and got away with some terrible crimes. As a reaction, we responded from our hearts with this song rather than stooping to their level and getting revenge. We want our audience to realize that taking a negative experience and using it as fuel for something positive is the best route to take. This song has such a strong message and meaning for us that we decided it was the best title for our EP."

Cast Out tracklisting:

"Whatcha Know?"
"Upper Hand"

“Cast Out”:

Cast Out captures the band's powerful sound shaped by childhood influences ranging from The Beach Boys, Led Zeppelin and Lynyrd Skynyrd, to Johnny Cash, Pink Floyd and Nirvana. Hudson's energy hits listenerswith a musical concoction of no frills classic rock 'n' roll highlighted by David's unique whiskey-soaked, growling vocal style and complimented by his band mates' unflinching guitar tones, harmonies and Billy Gibbons-esque blues stomps. Fans of Led Zeppelin, Jack White, Black Crowes and ZZ Topwill want to check out Hudson.
