I recently got a bunch of their mp3's. Easily one of the best drummers i have ever heard.
Get a track called "Who Ray" off soulseek now to see (or hear) what i mean

Sure. Although even if I am online neither of you will be on my list so you'll have to wait till I get home to start your downloads as I probably have a queue of about 8998398839.

what i find so incredible, is their ability to play so tight. with all those crazy breaks, it's as if they are reading eachother's minds. i hear that they are just as tight when you see them live.

i have hold your horse is, good stuff. they have 2 really nice tracks (fallam dynsasty and its a go in from a 2 track 12" i believe) those 2 tracks are some of their best i think. it has a much grittier sound and more powerful. they have another ep and a new album either out now or upcoming but im not that interested in it, i think ive heard all they can do.

they are aware of how lame their name is. they are from sacramento or something so they named themselves "hella" as kind of a joke. because everybody in california is always saying that.
the album "total bugs bunny on wild bass" is also pretty fucking awsome. my 2nd favorite. the new album "the devil is red is ok but i think they use too much distortion on the guitar and the mastering is not as clean as "hold your horse is"

Whoa. It's really weird to see this on here. I've know the guys from Hella before they were hella. My friend introduced me to them when they were in a band called Legs on Earth. Spencer (Guitar) is also in another band called The Advantage with one of my friends. They play all old nintendo (NES) songs. Hella is pretty popular around Sacramento and San Francisco, but I didn't know they had reach past that.

I got "Total Bugs Bunny on Wild Bass" today sight-unseen after the guy working at my local indie record store recommended them after I told him I was interested in something "challenging". First thought upon putting it in and hitting the play button - what the fucking goddamn is this??? I like it. A lot.

saw them live a couple weeks ago. it was jaw-dropping.
the drummer moves like a sweaty robot on speed. i've never seen a guy play drums that fast. it's like 400bpm drum and bass. he plays with the speed and intensity of a paint-can shaker.
the guitarist is also pretty fucking incredible live, playing guitar like it were a typewriter.

I'm currently on my third listen of "Total Bugs Bunny" now. It fucking rocks. I dig the videogame melodies.

so i saw them too some months ago, and i found that very jaw-dropping for like 5 minutes, then it bored me.

Another similar band is Don Cabbalero. In my opinion they are better than Hella, same kind of loud complex drumming with some prog alt guitar riffs, some of there tracks sound like sigur ros too.
