Nashville Pussy is a Grammy-nominated American hard rock band from Atlanta, Georgia. Many of their songs are about sex, drugs, drinking, fighting, and rock & roll. Much of their music is not what would be considered traditionally "radio friendly", due to their frequent use of expletives and vulgar terminology.
