Some Fresh new taste for your week! ✍️🧚
St. Louis-based straight edge emo band
@IHATEHANK is bringing raw energy, vulnerability, and authenticity straight to your feed. 💿
Whether it’s layered guitars, experimental synths, or “gang vocals” recorded with friends in a bathroom, “hank.” is all about music as process - building, evolving, and creating together. 🫂
Their latest release, “Pajama Day”, blends old emo foundations with new textures, reflecting both their history and their growth as a band. Influenced by Midwest Pen Pals, Cap’n Jazz, and the studio ambition of “Pet Sounds” by The Beach Boys, they approach recording like an art form - precise, iterative, and full of heart.
Live, they bring togetherness and community. Shows are a safe space for vulnerable audiences, where connection is prioritized over perfection. Their songs are straight edge and queer-centered, often challenging expectations while celebrating authenticity. 💌
You can listen to Pajama Day on streaming platforms.
Stream and repeat 🔁 and show some love!🎧
