A new band of long-time players, Hammered Hulls’ music hews close to some of their early influences. Alec MacKaye is the voice, Mark Cisneros (Des Demonas/Kid Congo Powers and the Pink Monkey Birds/The Make-Up) is the guitarist, Brendan Canty (Fugazi/Rites of Spring/Messthetics) is on bass, and Chris Wilson (Ted Leo and the Pharmacists/Titus Andronicus/Open City) commands the drums. Each of them brings their individual imprint to the total sound. This concussion of strength upon strength, unified by vulnerable songs, only barely contained, is the signature sound of Hammered Hulls.
