With heartland roots and country branches, they have been spreading the gospel of rock across the Bible Belt. From biker bars to coffeehouses, opening for touring acts, and playing as the headliners, Brian Johnson and The Acquitted have been working hard to make their name. Born of love, sadness, and the power of music, songwriters Brian Johnson and David Allen understand what it takes to tell a damn good story and get the feet stomping at the same time. In 2010, they released their debut album, Cold Friday. At once fresh and familiar, the album combines acoustic and electric guitars at the heart of Americana. These songs weave stories of people, from the down and out narrator of "Remember You Said" to the jangle pop of "Hear Me Tonight." Each track stands alone telling a unique story, and at the end all are unified. These songs lend a voice to different characters, but all hailing from the same place, be it the center or the outskirts of town.

Brian Johnson & The Acquitted Lyrics

Darkness has fallen over the land
Mankind is broken, lost, and fallen
To the plagues of lies and deceit
c curse on the world never seen

Men have turned on each other
Like wild animals
Full of greed and lust for power
Dominating our once great nations

But out of the darkness now rise a
Great army of truth and honor
Led by a hero who has watched this
World since it's birth

On the horizon the riders of doom
Will bring woe onto those who seek
To destroy the innocent
We lay claim to the throne and
Stand vigilant through these
Darkened Times
Rise now my Eternal Warriors
Raise your swords with us ‘till the end
Rise now my warriors
