DIG THIS: HOOTS AND HELLMOUTH @ MIDDLE EAST

= demonowl

Ignoring the fact that their name sounds like the best body cop movie ever made—screw that. We’re not ignoring that at all. Keeping that concept firmly in mind (especially if you’re a producer mining periodicals for inspiration), this foursome out of Philadelphia are also extremely talented musicians of the soul/roots variety. We’re talking the “sunny day, riding your bike by the beach” kind of roots. Just cruising along, until suddenly… an EXPLOSION and RICO BADD appears! Yeah. This is totes going in the movie.
