up and comers- the hussy



two piece raucous garage rock from madison wisconsin.  now i know what yr thinking.  is this just another one of those bands copping this lo-fi garage rock style?  that if you took away the feedback and reverb that you'd have nothing left?

NO...the HUSSY are good catchy rock n roll.  throw some nuggets-era garage rock in the mix with 70s punk and you start to get the idea of what they're all about.

the hussy have a stripped down two piece vibe that keeps any unnecessary excess away from yr ears, yep no unwanted keyboards or untalented band members here.  the focus is melodic songs that keep you humming long after the song is done..... these guys would've been very at home on sympathy for the record industry if the label was still going.....
