HELL, THE - S/T

We introduced Cleveland’s THE HELL back in 2022 with a 4 song promo tape and $1,000 digital download. For those who weren’t able to scrounge up the money (Nerds), we are now here to put your wallets at ease and to present you with the debut US pressing of their Self-Titled 12”. THE HELL showcases 10 searing tracks of classic 80’s inspired Midwest hardcore punk at its best. Each track is spewing with catchy and driving guitar riffs that takes influence more from the punk world, while the drums keep things hardcore and pummeling. Clever tempo changes keeps things interesting, leaving you constantly on your tiptoes. The catchiest element of the mix is the vocals, which have a unique phrasing style that gives a cool push-pull feeling, adding a lot to the overall intensity of each track. Each record comes in a standard gloss glue pocket jacket illustrated by the one and only Keith Caves. For all the European folks interested in snagging this punk necessity, Drunken Sailor will be handling a pressing in your realm. PS, the band is still open to taking that $1,000 digital download over on their bandcamp. Probably well deserved after this gem!!!
