Band of the Month: Hecks

- Greg

Happy Friday Readers.
Today’s Band of the Month is Hecks. This Toronto two-piece, sonic assault rhythm section storms in and out faster than you can hit the play button. Their first album, ‘When They Ruled the Earth’, suitably characterizes their prehistoric-animal sized sound of thrashing bass and drums from start to finish. Every life changing weekend embodies the energy and intention of a bowel-jolting pterodactyl scream….and so does Hecks.
Take a taste below!
