A collection of thought, sound & ideas. Since 2008.
Little more than a year since the release of Vampire Hours, The Humms have returned with new music, the lone Golden Bears seemingly plucked from what appears to be their third album, Pelzer Fuck Club, still under production.
In a notable departure from the album's full band arrangement, this alternate take on the song finds singer Emily Armond's voice in a most pure, yet vulnerable state, bouncing through hollows, embraced only by a warn, piano accompaniment, courtesy of Jacob Morris. We are pleased now to have received word, down from the mountain, granting permission to release a song from those sessions, Old Woman.
"Screaming for the life they once forgot, shadow boxing the vampire they’re afraid to admit they are.” - Jared Cobb, The Peacock Observer. Vampire Hours is out Sept 29th, with a special advance release for Record Store Day at select shops on Aug 29th, Sept 26th.
Also sneaking out from the ether during this strange time is the first material in two years to be released from Clemson, SC's cow-punk stewards, Pine Tar Rage.

Hotter than a double order of jalapeno hash browns, Garrett Carpenter (AKA Uncle Goo) has just unleashed a brand new tune titled "When I Die (Bury Me at the Waffle House)" - his second single from upcoming record, Cattywampus!!! - in stores everywhere October 15th via Gypsy Farm Records. Carpenter says "When I die, don't …
"Conway Twitty came to me in a dream about 15 years ago and gave me this song" is how Pendleton, South Carolina's Brant Duncan puts it, referring to his most recent recording at GF studio.
Brant first caught the attention of GFR with his previous band The Elegance (2008) before joining Carolina punk rockers Pine Tar Rage who had recently signed to Gypsy Farm Records.
"Trembling Rose" is Duncan's first new material in years under the pseudonym "The Haunted Head" and we hear a familiar voice that any fan of The Elegance will find fits right in woven between blankets of Supro-FUZZ with piano and drums accompaniment.
