Hillbilly Vegas Share New Single/Video “I Hope You Know”

3 March 2026 rocknews

Oklahoma-based Southern rockers Hillbilly Vegas have unleashed their powerful new single and video “I Hope You Know” – the first track from their highly anticipated album A La Mode, slated for release in May 2026 via Quarto Valley Records.

Driven by gritty guitars, a rocking blues groove, and just the right amount of Southern grit, “I Hope You Know” dives into the chaos of a relationship that’s fallen apart beyond repair – a theme that resonates with anyone who’s watched a connection crumble.

Frontman Steve Harris shares the deeply personal inspiration: “‘I Hope You Know’ comes from a very personal experience in my life, but it’s a moment a lot of people recognize. It can be a romantic relationship, a friendship, family, or even a professional relationship. In my case, it was a professional relationship and a lifelong friendship that slowly deteriorated due to substance abuse. It’s realizing the person you trusted isn’t in control anymore, and that you can’t fix it for them. Sometimes the only thing left to do is let go and hope it gives them the motivation to fix themselves.”

The video, directed by GR1M (Chase Matthews, Crucifix) and produced by the band, was filmed in Oklahoma during the worst U.S. snowstorm in 60 years. Harris explains the concept: “With the ‘I Hope You Know’ video, we paid tribute to where we come from and the music that built us. ’70s era rock was the greatest era of rock n’ roll. We kept it fun – like rock n’ roll is supposed to be and let the visuals reflect that golden age. We shot it at our warehouse during the worst snowstorm the U.S. had seen in 60 years, which forced us to keep it simple. Honestly, that made it even better.”
