Hurt (the band)~
I’ve been a fan of Hurt for a while. When they came out with their first album, I really didn’t know what I was getting into (haha) but I fucking loved every bit of it. Their first album was was titled appropriately enough; Volume 1. Their second album was … fucking amazing, but their titles are less than inspired; Volume 2. (haha) It’s hard rock; if you’re a fan of the genre I highly recommend them; they’ve got this sort of Tool-style vibe going on, maybe with a bit of… I dunno, Cold and Staind (before either of them decided to go emofag and instead of rocking out with edgy, gritty, sometimes painful lyrics, crooning about how much they suck) grunge and raw emotion.
I’m not a fan of the average sophmore album. From past experience, you just assume that it’s going to suck by default and the thought of shelling out hard earned cash on an album that potentially blows donkey choad makes me want to blow my groceries. – But it’s not at all that bad.
I have some studio cuts from them almost ready for download- the radio station I listen to had them in their studios for a small set, and the links are on their website for download (I’ll be mirroring them) and they’ll be up later. Remember to right-click, save as.
