Hammerhead

Fargo three-piece, AmRep lifers, cold-weather punishment rock. Drums like a piledriver, bass tone that rattles teeth, guitar that sounds like a broken compressor. Ethereal Killer and Into the Vortex are the canonical records. Small discography, big influence. Broke up in '96 and stayed broken up. One of those bands whose records got passed around noise rock circles on cassette for years before the reissues caught up.
