Danger
Hailstorm's new album is now available! This review is from
the
Salt Lake City Weekly:
Danger
Hailstorm One
Self-awareness can only succeed in two musical genres:
novelty and metal, and there are some really good bands that
border on both (think The Darkness). In an age of stuffy
indie-domination, no band can play balls-to-the-wall rock
music and expect to be taken 100 percent seriously. Danger
Hailstorm knows this—which makes One this year’s
most enjoyable listen so far. The trio, led by the prolific
Terrance DH (The Stench, Magstatic), take every sub-genre of
metal—including heavy doses of early-’90s pre-grunge—and mix
it in a large vat of testosterone. Ditching his
usual-harmonic vocals, DH summons every ounce of damnation
to sound threatening, cutting up his voice when singing
“Here’s the wrath of the cold-blooded killaah!”
Yes, at times it can be a bit silly, especially during a
song about being “baptized in rattlesnake water,” but
there’s no point in telling someone he looks silly while
he’s kicking your ass.

Thanks
to
Hyperactive Music Magazine
for their article on Musician's Healthcare and Brad Barber
(drummer for SPIV). He underwent brain
surgery and had no insurance. We're doing what we can!
The music
business is a cruel and shallow money trench, a long plastic
hallway where thieves and pimps run free, and good men die
like dogs. There's also a negative side.
--Hunter S. Thompson.
Pop Sweatshop
sent the lovely Anistacia Barber to the Woody Creek Tavern,
outside Aspen, CO, for the night of the famous cannon
blast of Hunter's cremated remains. She spent the night
swilling beers and reminiscing with fans from across the
globe.
