Are you hip to Hull yet? They’re one of our most favoritist local NYC bands, and we’ve been telling you shitheads to check them out for-ever. We were insanely excited when they signed to The End Records last year, and are even more excited now that the first album from that partnership, Sole Lord, has a release date: May 26.
Let me type that again: HULL’S SOLE LORD COMES OUT MAY 26. Brand it upon your brain.
Above is the cover art by Josh Graham (Neurosis, A Storm of Light), which I think is a pretty good visual representation of this group’s sound. But as they said on Reading Rainbow – don’t take my word for it. Check out their MySpace page or sweet new website. And if you live in the NYC area – they’re playing Union Pool in Brooklyn tonight with Withered, Book of Black Earth, and Hallux.

Ha! They obviously have a sense of humor. Their first two genres listed are blues and Southern rock. Funny.
another isis-cult of luna rip off
Really? I listen to both of those bands religiously and i would hardly call this band a rip-off of them.
rip off? how about i rip your face off.
Me like
Sounds pretty bad ass… Wish they had full songs up on the Myspace though.
Saw them last night, opened for Book of Black Earth and Withered.
Totally destroyed my face. Great fucking show.
Saw these guys in a jam room here in Vicksburg,Mississippi. Totally nice guys, and a loud, awesome show. Viking Funeral, man!
In other HULL-related news, they’re also playing a show on May 26 at The Charleston in Brooklyn, with fellow New Yorkers Flaming Tusk and also The Witches Tit from Arkansas.
HULL’s live show is totally rad; I caught their set at SXSW.
