Edit history

Despite what you hear in their music, HELLHOUNDS were not brought up in the swamps of Louisiana in the 70’s living off nothing but peyote. The band is actually a Melbourne based retro-blues trio founded in St. Kilda. A rare and wonderful combination of musical misfits comprising of a rock drummer (Venom), a punk bas player (Bryan Colechin) and blues guitarist Patch (Hellhound) Brown. In meeting, the chemistry between the three was instant and the combination emphatic. HELLHOUNDS energy is reminiscent of bands such as Cream or Band of Gypsies with a sound authentic and honest to that era. Veterans of the industry, between them HELLHOUNDS have played in bands such as SUPERJESUS, ELECTRIC MARY, NICK BARKER and HUGO RACE’S TRUE SPIRIT. With their amalgamated styles and combined and extensive knowledge of blues and retrodelic rock history, the powerful trio HELLHOUNDS was born. This month the band independently release their long awaited debut self-titled album through MGM distribution.
