I have an awful habit of trying to sing along to bands that, by all measurable means, you shouldn't be able to sing along to. And if you shouldn't do it, the rule applies double for me. Hira Hira are one of those bands that don't exactly write delightful shanties or a-yo-ho-ho, but evoke a kind of passion and enjoyment that gets you screaming along (even if you really, really shouldn't.)
I first heard these guys when I walked into a punk festival that I was almost certain was going to be all Oi and At the Rawk Show, and heard the severed end of Mouths Full of Calves Blood. The curiously heavy broken rhythm caught my attention, but when the group shouted "WHAT FOR THEN?!" I responded by politely dropping my shit and running to try and catch the rest of the show. Unfortunately, I was late, and that was their last song. What for, indeed.
Where I'm going with that anecdote is that I literally heard a minute and a half of music from afar, and knew that this was a band to hunt down. Lucky for everyone involved, this album is a free download, and now I get to tell you all about this wicked act. Enjoy.
