FULL OF HELL

Dylan Walker, vocals

 

How excited is Full of Hell to be playing the A389 showcase?

So excited. Dave Bland is shitting himself in anticipation.

Your first LP, Roots of Earth Are Consuming My Home, was released by the label recently to pretty favorable reviews. How is it working with A389 to release your music?

A389 is the only label we could see ourselves working with right now. Dom is one of the best individuals on the planet, and he really puts the effort in to make sure each band feels like part of a larger family. He's also got a vested interest in Dave Bland, I think he's trying to set up some kind of charity fund to get Dave back into school.

What bands are you guys most excited to see?

I won't be missing a single band, but I'm pretty excited to finally see Eyehategod. It's also Pulling Teeth's last show, so that as well.

What can we expect from your set?

You've just wrapped up a full U.S. tour with Southern Lord heavyweights Heartless. What other new and exciting things are in store for Full of Hell?

We're going to be heading out on an East Coast tour following the A389 Bash. A bunch of those shows are with Weekend Nachos. After that, we'll be releasing our split 7" with Code Orange Kids and touring in April with them. It looks like Europe is on the horizon for May/June.
