Chll Pll - "Aggressively Humble" LP review - Porter Records Wow, wasn't sure if this one was gonna run, it's so long and controversial. If not controversial, it's at least a little indulgent, but that's what I do these days. Nothin' to get hung about, that's for sure. So I like the latest Zach Hill [...]

Zach Hill is one nasty drummer. I guess the only real reason he's on my radar is the brief stint he did as Wavves' drummer a few months ago. It was the best Wavves show I've ever seen, in large part because of Hill's expressive, frenetic drumming. Probably one of the best drummers I've ever seen live, period. He's got a whole mess of solo stuff, some of which is sort of insufferable, but some of which is pretty cool. There's a good smattering on his MySpace page . "Stoic Logic," which is posted below for download, is one [...]

Bygones--a side project of Hella's Zach Hill and Tera Melos' Nick Reinhart--has just put out a new EP, and it's a welcome change from their debut, by-.On by-, Hill and Reinhart didn't do much outside of what we've come to expect from their respective bands. However, this new release, titled Spiritual Bankruptcy, is technically proficient trip through the gritty, lo-fi sounds of hardcore punk.Grab

Sax Ruins - "Komnigris " Talk about procrastination, Yawiquo started to collect mold after awhile, and not because I wasn't listening to it, but because I listened to it over and over without breaking the review cherry. Now that I'm dusting the cobwebs off this shit finally I can definitely say this is my favorite Ruins -related album. I don't hate the others, either; I just think this is the most consistently listenable [...]
As much as Mason Lindahl's album Serrated Man Sound defined 2009's fall season for me, his visit on the weekend of November 21st, 2009 signaled the departure of this fleeting season and the arrival of the bitter cold in Seattle. Mason was in town to play at Seattle's Vera Project with local bands: Fences and Hey Marseilles . To escape the cold we stopped at the Capitol Hill Than Brothers for hot PHO. While stuffing our faces we were able to have good conversation with Mason and learn a [...]

In September Zac Nelson of the bands Hexlove and Chll Pll ----->
Hot on the scene this year is a new sound coming out of San Diego, CA called Wavves . I’ll be honest, the lo-fi surfer-on-acid-garage-punk sound took me a few listens to get into. Once I heard that the entire album was written, performed, recorded and produced by one dude, I got a bit more interested. But truthfully, it wasn’t until I had the chance to see Wavves live in their native San Diego a month back that I got to experience the full genius that everyone has been hyping all summer . After a few [...]

I got a nice little package in the mail a few weeks ago, an advance copy of the album dropping from newborn collaboration between Zach Hill (yes, ANOTHER project) and Zac Nelson (Hexlove, Trawler Bycatch): Chll Pll . Their first album, Agressively Humble, is due out October 20. Familiar with Zach Hill, I had my doubts as to whether it could actually sound much different from other projects, just due to the sheer number of them. Apparently he left some ground uncovered, which Chll Pll seems to fill in nicely- still driving and drum heavy, but with [...]

Bygones is a Sacramento, California two-piece made up of guitar genious Nick Reinhart (Tera Melos) and drum god Zach Hill (Hella, Zach Hill, Team Sleep, ect).Bygones play complex math rock riffs and rhythms tightly wound with sweet pop melodies. Bygones' debut album was released (on Sargent House) last week (iTunes featured the album on the front page of its Alternative Rock section) Bygones - Click on That (Smash The Plastic Death) Bygones debut album by- was released by Sargent House on August 25th on both CD and 12" Vinyl.
Wavves' Nathan Daniel William and Hella's Zach Hill seem like one of the most unlikely pairs, but they still bring out the best in each other. Zach's wild drumming gets a refined concentration, while Nathan explores the sonic boundaries of lo-fi.Hill and Daniel are currently hammering out a new album, and here's the gruesome twosome jamming on a new track dubbed "Hula Hoop":MP3: Wavves- "Cool

We already reported on the upcoming tour from Los Angeles buzz band Wavves ; however, it appears that the one man mastermind is losing one drummer in favor of another. This time joinging Nathan Williams (aka Wavves) on the road will be Zach Hill of Hella. Hill is one hell of a drummer and could easily overshadow Williams. We're sort of hoping for another breakdown on stage. All the dates are once again after the jump. Wavves tour dates: Dates marked * with Ganglians Aug-28 - San Diego, CA [...]

It's official: Despite a questionable work ethic, questionable musical taste and, most importantly, a questionable haircut, I am now endorsing Wavves . And that's because something else is official: Zach Hill - kitman extraordinaire and partner-in-crime with my boy Spencer Seim for Hella - has joined up with Mr. Bad Hairdo to record new material and tour. Granted, pretty much everyone all over the internet was well aware of this development on a circumstancial level. But now it's official. So unless you disappoint me in this endeavor, Zach, I'll be giving Wavves a thumbs up. [...]
