Some of New York’s finest, Hank Wood and the Hammerheads have been feeding punks with a dirty garage rock for years, with a sound that is undeniably unique – a mixture of hardcore and garage with a bit of soul thrown in for good measure. They’re fervently loud enough for a mosh pit yet occasionally so tender they can bring tears. After a couple of raging LP’s cheekily focused on going and staying home, their self-titled record expanded their sound into something different and larger – a catchy, pummeling, bluesy and wailing masterpiece that marked their transition into something rather new. Live, they kick ass.
