Hemmit

Add Date: January 27

Artist: Hemmit

Album: RocketRide

Label: Self-released

Genre: Rock

Comments: I'm not quite sure whether or not I should take Hemmit seriously. They play 80's rock (without the screeching vocals, luckily), and they do it well. At the same time, it's 80's stadium rock, so they can't be serious, right? If you are feeling nostalgic, it doesn't matter what there intentions are, it does the job.

I really like these guys (they're fellow Portlanders) -- and I can tell you it's definitely tongue in cheek ;)

The album's got tons of punk, powerpop and hard rock stuff on it. I've heard them described as Ramones meets AC/DC meets The Stooges. Fun stuff!
