this goes hard

For more on Hammered Hulls, here’s their bio, written by Brendan Canty of Fugazi and The Messthetics:
Mary Timony (bass) and Alec MacKaye (vocals) grew up in the same Washington neighborhood and have spent the better part of their lives in each other’s somewhat distant orbit. Always aware of each other, but never able to play together.
Mark Cisneros (Guitar) has been in D.C. for more than a decade. He cut his teeth in Los Angeles listening to both Mary and Alec’s bands, but also a healthy dose of free jazz and garage. He is the man who plays everything with everyone, but this is his band.

Hammered Hulls are rounded out by Chris Wilson (drums), a monstrous drummer with no shortage of love for all three of his bandmates. Every person in this band is a fan of every other person in this band. Mutual respect drives this train. But to say they are an odd collection of influences is to understate the point. If you tried you couldn’t imagine what this band might sound like.

This single was recorded in a couple days at Inner Ear studios. Appropriate home to everyone in the DC scene.

Had the pleasure of seeing them play a couple months ago. I'd never seen Alec MacKaye perform before; dude has such an intense stage presence!

that's great to hear, i'm super excited for this

Saw them the other night for free at Fort Reno Park in DC. Alec mentioned performing there in 1979 with the Untouchables. I saw that 1979 gig (maybe my 2nd Fort Reno gig). Alec has stage presence but I wish he would develop if possible a wider vocal range. Skilled band would sound even better with more than hardcore punk spectrum vocals.

Also, someone needs to fix title of thread- it’s Alec not Chris

Oops yeah other guy is Chris
