Awesome, this is one of my favorite existing bands!

Not bad for a first attempt. They sound a little too much like a band from Washington D.C called Give. Once the Hairy Rads find their own sound and use their own geographical musical references, I think they might make a decent sounding record one day. I'd give this a 4 out 10 Hummels, it would get more if they'd stop sounding like Give.

What I really want to know is that Alec singing on the second song that cuts off?!?

Well, your offer sounds enjoyable but I will regretfully have to decline as today I have two things already on my agenda (1) Sell Hummels for cash money. (2) Eat salsa off a Minor Threat bootleg 7".

Ah, I take it you will not have an interest in my upcoming novelette (coming out on publishing imprint funded by Starbucks) it's working title is:
"Hardcore & Hummels & Gnomes: How Collecting Hummels & Records Brought Me Joy and Can Do The Same For You".

I had planned a section on doing online tongue-in-cheek reviews of bands you like, but maybe I should think that over.

Here are some photos that I plan on including:

But enough about me.....back to Red Hare...is that Alec on the second song? It sounds like his voice?

That is great, can't wait to hear the full release (and Alec's song)! I'm not sure what Alec is up to musically, but the last time I heard him sing was (sadly) when he sang "Anger Means" at the John Stabb Memorial show (with Give actually as the backing band). It was a really sped up, punchy and louder cover, but it was nice to hear him singing again. And those lyrics always meant a lot to me as a young punk rocker and, hell, even today they fit with current issues impacting us all.

I am super excited for a new RED HARE record. Loved everything so far and the show I saw at St. Vitus was terrific. Dare I say (dare....dare...) I'd rather see Shawn in this setting than any other.

Sounds great to me. Alec being involved in music again is also exciting.
It's nice to have a newer band that I can get excited about.

They definitely opened for you at the Black Cat. They are a great band and deeply love all things Swiz (and related). As a result, their first record was very Swiz-y (which is the basis for FMH's joke), but they have evolved beyond that to closer to a heavy Scream or My War era BF relocated (in time and space) to Revolution Summer DC. They are also great guys.

And I can't fucking wait for new Red Hare. Having Alec on guest vox is the icing on the cake. I hope you'll be playing a show or two in DC when it comes out.

I definitely saw Red Hare (and Swiz) open for Give at that place with the child sex basement in DC.

Yeah, Comet Ping Pong. That was a good line up too.

Hilary Clinton opened with "Pizza Gate Bust" and went right into "Child Sex Slaves" so naturally everyone went ape shit over her emails.

I'm not gonna lie, I got a little misty-eyed when the power went out at the end and everyone just kept on chanting along with the chorus "Lock Her Up! Lock Her Up.."

I knew Big Mouth, Give, and even Red Hare covering Swiz couldn't trump that peformance BUT HER EMAILS.

In case you want some...uh, actual RED HARE related news - they just announced a Philly show for 6/2.

https://www.facebook.com/events/179164709541782/

I have to assume more shows will be announced.

Oh fuk, I really like Open City. It's the guitarist from Lifetime/Kid Dynamite playing punk rock with great vocals, that happen to be female. This show will kick total righteous ass!

Venue now announced: it's at Coney Island Baby (formerly HiFi and Brownie's before that); the openers are Suicide Pact and High Disciple. I'm unfamiliar with either of them.

High Disciple features Chris Daly on drums. They're cool! Dub type stuff.

I gave it a spin this morning. Upon initial listen it didn't seem as 'hooky' as previous release(s), but with stuff like this it usually takes a few listens to sink in. Time will tell.

Funny, I kind of have the opposite impression. The songs are shorter, but they remind me more of Dag Nasty or Scream than Swiz.

I think it's phenomenal. Shawn sounds SO good. Strong, yet relaxed. I think Dag being active has really allowed him to grow.
