The Hussy - Looming

The Hussy have a busy 2019, releaseing a new LP, Looming, on Sept. 27 on Dirtnap Records. It's the band's sixth full-length, following 2015's Galore, taking the band's described trash-pop sound in new directions over 16 new songs, including lead single "Coast" (shared below).

Guitarist/co-vocalist Bobby Hussy has since moonlighted with Nobunny in recent years and members also play with Cave Curse and Proud Parents. In 2015, The Hussy added Tyler Fassnacht (Fire Heads, Proud Parents, T.S. Foss) as an official third member.

The Hussy

Looming
Dirtnap (2019)

It’s been fun watching The Hussy grow. All those scuzzy, dirty licks and rough-and-tumble beats of their early work is still present, but on Looming the now-trio lets the once understated melodies take the lead. It’s driving rock with some notable grooves, but it’s also singalong with shades of ‘60s garage, psychedelia, and even hints of pop.Looming contains 16 songs in total, alternating … Read more

The Volar EP
Volar Records (2015)

The Hussy keeps changing on me. That’s cool, though. Bands are like babies: they grow and change and…eventually abandon you in the old folks’ home. Er, whatever. The point is that over the Wisconsin duo’s lifetime they’ve shifted from abrasive noisy garage-punk to more melodic but tonally challenging garage-punk, which comes across really well here, where they take those fuzzed … Read more

Galore
Southpaw (2015)

Why have children when I can just listen to my music and watch the bands change and grow instead? First they learned to stumble, then to walk, and finally to slow dance. Er, I dunno.
