Blurb:
From the ashes of Old Haunts and Bangs arises Western Hymn! Western Hymn formed in a chilly Olympia basement during March of 2009; Kill Rock Stars alumni Craig Extine (Old Haunts) and Sarah Utter (Bangs) joined forces with drummer extraordinaire Kris Cunningham (Couch of Eureka) and began a regular rotation on the Seattle-Olympia-Portland house party circuit. Drawing on inspiration from classic NW punk trios Dead Moon and the Wipers, Western Hymn keeps it simple with garage-inspired riffs and driving rhythms. Inspired by rain, motorcycles, and minivans, WH self-released their debut LP (a limited run of 330) in December with laborious hand-letterpressed covers courtesy of Sarah U. and Olympia's printmaking hive, Community Print. They are currently working on a follow-up 7-inch single and will be touring the West Coast in May 2010.
