Children Of Bodom, Asia, and countless emo bands all named themselves after cool places. Hull is both a fishing town on the English East Coast and an awesome Brooklyn HEAVY METAL quintet. Nick Palmirotto talks about stuff. What was your highlight of 2008? Signing to The End Records . What's the worst thing that happened to you in 2008? Broken wrist, broken toe, broken shoulders, [...]
A few days ago, THE END Records announced the signing of one of our favorite local acts in the New York scene, HULL, and we are not just saying that because we happened to share many-a-bowls with the dudes, but because their music is guaranteed to rip your head off! The band can be compared [...]
One of the very first "sign this awesome local band" posts I wrote for this site way back on June 20th of 2007 was a show review of the crushingly heavy New York stoner/doom metal band Hull. They opened for Big Business that night and literally blew them away; several months later I saw them [...]

The tour is in support of his new album, Years of Refusal, which is due out in early 2009. NME is reporting that tickets go on sale on Friday, (December 12) at [...]
by theseseans (NYC) Last night me and Gerf took the train across the East River to grace Manhattan with our stank presences, but mostly to take in the Black Metal Magic Tour at the Knitting Factory. It was awesome , really awesome. The show started off with Krallice , and props to them; not only did they play very well, but they had the show packed tight at 8PM sharp. Withered stole the show for me last night, bringing an urgency and vitality to their songs in a live [...]

by crustcake gerf (NYC) Download: Goes Cube - "Gravestones Like Chess Pieces" [MP3] Hey people, quick update on some upcoming NYC-area shows for you. But first, who saw Big Business and the Melvins last night at Bowery or Wednesday at Music Hall? I must say, that was not the Big Business that I know and love last night. Maybe it was the full-time guitarist, or the new songs, or the fact that I couldn't see shit, but [...]
