The Hunt - "The Hunt Begins"
One of the saddest things for any lover of music is discovering a band or album you really love, only to find out that the band is no more. That happened this past fall when Sacred Bones unearthed the lost debut album from The Hunt, a post-punk band from NYC. From the first time I heard their earth-shaking single "Fifteen Minutes," I fell in love with this group, only to have my heart broken when I read that they disbanded sometime in 2010. They did, however, leave behind one fantastic epitaph in the form of "The Hunt Begins." Dark, aggressive and with more than a touch of self-awareness, The Hunt managed to encompass everything good about the deathrock genre in just 9 memorably catchy songs. Download this album, dust off those steel-toed boots and prepare for the summer of hate.
