Melonhead! You're bleeding seeds, does that mean you're dead? Did you fall onto your skull? The contents look so beautiful Melonhead! You're bleeding seeds, does that mean you're dead? Did you fall onto your skull? The contents look so beautiful Well, well, well you fell in the well Hope you don't think I'm obligated to tell anybody else that you are down there You can rot for all I do care They tell me bacon and eggs don't speak Well just last night they were talking to me I was over at your place frying 'em up All the plates were dirty so I used a cup Broken arms, broken legs Ruptured spleen, everything Absolutely have to say, it's absolutely not your day Oh and listen, by the way, No one hears a word you say No one listens anyway Well, well, well you fell in the well Hope you don't think I'm obligated to tell You can scream and yell for the good it'll do ya 'Cuz no one's coming to your rescue Melonhead! You're bleeding seeds, does that mean you're dead? Did you fall onto your skull? The contents look so beautiful Melonhead! You're bleeding seeds, does that mean you're dead? Did you fall onto your skull? The contents look so beautiful Melonhead! Melonhead! Melonhead! MELONHEAD! MELONHEAD! MELONHEAD!!!

about

Not to be confused with the well-known series of similarly monikered Hank Williams offspring, HANK IV is a San Francisco primitive bombastic rock combo trafficking an ill-advised mix of dual-guitar histrionics, panic-skiffle drum beats, craw-stick melodics and straw-boss vocal gymnastics.

"What teacher's lounge did these guys meet in? Some great Crime meets Chain Gang meets Viletones meets Styrenes punk rock that hearkens back to the dark grunt of late 70s Frisco punk, while remaining fresh. It really should be no surprise that these music freaks are one of the better bands I've heard in a frog's leap" - Scott Soriano, Terminal Boredom

Third Person Shooter was listed as one of 2006's top punk albums by Maximum Rockandroll, "Best of 2006" by Terminal Boredom, #2 album of 2006 by WFMU DJ Evan Funk Davies, and the #8 album of 2006 by WFMU's DJ Terre T.

Hank IV San Francisco, California

Hank IV's hard-charging and visceral dual-guitar rock punk has been likened to “Crime meets Viletones meets Styrenes punk” (Z-Gun Magazine) and by WFMU’s DJ Terre T as “a sick combination of Volcano Suns and Blue Cheer and Chain Gang!”

Hank IV is not related to Hank Williams or any of his descendants. ... more
