About:  This project started killing in the 90’s. Recently resurrected with new blood and a fresh madness. These four men are already blowing minds and creating a need and urgency in their fans for not only more music but…MORE HAIR!!!  The crowds are going nuts while the music is pounding and the hair is thrashing with no regrets.
This fast rocking ‘new-punk’ band is about to take the music industry and blow its head right off of its teeny little neck. When music fans everywhere have just about given up, we give you HELL CITY ROCKERS…
