Hellbender

Returning with their first new album in 14 years, Seattle punk squad Zeke slam out 15 hell-raising, road-burning blasts of high-octane rock power. From the unhinged guitar frenzies of “Two Lane Blacktop” and “On the Road” to the high-speed chaos of “Working Man” and blink-and-you’ll-miss-’em blasts of “Hellbender” and “County Jail,” not a single song hits the two-minute mark. Frontman Blind Marky Felchtone barks out tales of brawls, blackouts, and burning tires throughout, while the band cranks up the Motörhead-inspired madness.
