This week we’re discussing every album by Hammerhead. Closely associated with Amphetamine Reptile Records (AmRep) and the 90s noise rock scene in Minneapolis, MN, Hammerhead is one of the loudest and most punishing trios in the whole genre. Made up of core members Paul Erickson (bass, vocals), Paul Sanders (guitar, vocals), and Jeff Mooridian (drums), Hammerhead is criminally underrated and totally unique. Are they for everyone? Absolutely not.

Closing track: “Zooid” from New Directionz (2015)
