The Hills Have Eyes

I'm not sure how much of you readers are fans of the whole prog-hardcore genre (Fall of Troy, The Number 12 Looks Like You, HeavyHeavyLowLow, etc). If some of you are, then hopefully this post will appeal to you. Born from the ashes of Seattle's A Kiss Farewell, The Hills Have Eyes features members of the now-defunct band as well as Thomas Erak, vocalist/guitarist of the Fall of Troy. But Erak, being the guitar-whiz he is, sets his ax down and only assumes vocal duties this time around. That's not necessarily a bad thing; Erak is able to demonstrate a vocal range that goes farther than the usually high-pitched screams seen in his work under TFOT. Although THHE's music may not demonstrate any mindblowing guitarwork, the music is still great. So far, the band has only posted three untitled demos on their MySpace. They may not be of the best quality, but they sure sound promising. The band plans to release a four-song EP some time in the near future, after which they will begin touring.
