Madison Wisconsin’s The Hussy have been a power duo since 2008, but their forthcoming Looming LP, which is set to be released on September 27th, sees the band pick up a third member for a thicker sound.
Fronted by both Bobby Hussy (guitar, vocals) and Heather Hussy (drums, vocals), the band has brought their chaotic live show that usually involves fire to stages alongside way too many grunge punk household names to mention here. In addition, the band not only toured with Nobunny, but served as his backing band on tours throughout the United Stages, Australia, and New Zealand.
The Hussy’s hyper-prolific output has spanned over 20 different record labels and every format imaginable. Now on garage punk all-star label Dirtnap Records, and with the addition of Tyler Fassnacht (Fire Heads, Proud Parents, TS Foss), Looming takes the band in a decidedly dismal and defiantly dark direction.
The band’ may tackle topics such as death, sudden loss, divorce, addiction and these politically depressing times we live in, but don’t let the heavy subject matter fool you; The Hussy still have a crafty knack for killer guitar riffs and catchy lo-fi psych-punk vibes that they have become known for!
The Big Takeover is mighty pleased to host the premiere of psych-tinged garage rocker “Ode To Self”, a rough and rousing track off of Looming. The emphatic drum beat propels the tune forward as it continues to run with slashing guitar burn and a bouncing bass line. Heather Hussy shouts out the lyrics with fiery defiance, adding a spiky edge to the energetically tumultuous atmosphere.
