Биография "Hiretsukan"
<< Вернуться к списку всех песен "Hiretsukan"
Hiretsukan is punk rock/screamo band that formed in 1998 just outside of Washington, D.C… In the following years, they recorded their «Brown Bag» demo, and went out on a few small tours. After a few volatile years which saw several collective moves and incarnations, the group solidified its line-up and relocated to New York City.
The band performs an interesting form of hardcore punk, incorporating melodic indie rock style riffs, often in 6/8 time. Michelle Proffit’s vocal style is very intense, mostly comprised of screaming and screeching her lyrics. It adds a definite sense of intensity to the music. Her lyrical style is heavily political, leaning hard towards the left-wing side of the political scale.
The band recorded their first EP in early 2002 with producer Don Fury. The result, Invasive/Exotic, was released on G7 Welcoming Committee Records in May, 2002. After touring a bit for the record, the band split up that same year. Fortunately, they were convinced to re-form in late 2003 by the people at G7 Records.
Newly reformed with the same lineup, the band began working on songs that would eventually be recorded and released as End States (2005), again on G7 Welcoming Committee Records.
Band Members:
Vocals: Michelle Proffit
Guitar: Dave Sanders
Bass: Derek Wimble
