Description

Hellbender's 1997 album was the final and little-known release by a group of young men who would go on to do plenty more than punk rock. So why did it get a remastered re-release 25 years later, and why is it still Chris's favorite record? We talk about the band, the recording, and what emo themes live in the literary, haunted lyrics.
