Denver-based hardcore punk band, Hellgrammites have released the music video for their single, “Mercury.” The video arrives just ahead of the band’s headlining show at The Marquis Theater on May 31st. Tickets are available now HERE. Watch the video for “Mercury” now below!
Hellgrammites consists of Erik Petersen (Lead Vocals), Lehi Petersen(Guitar, Vocals), Troy Ten Eyck(Bass, Backing Vocals), and Bill Jenkins (Drums, Backing Vocals). The members take on a stage presence that is entertaining, provocative, fun, and uncomfortable all at the same time.
Lehi Petersen (guitar, vocals, keyboards) states:
“Music traditionally addresses a limited range of emotions; happy, sad, angry, etc. We want to address feeling, emotions, and issues that people don’t feel comfortable talking about. That’s why we call ourselves discomfort punk. There are so many fucked up things in the world that everyone chooses to ignore on a daily basis. We want to bring those things out through our music.”
Among writing new material and lining up a small tour at the end of summer, the band has also undergone a change in drummers. The change hasn’t slowed the band down, if anything, it’s given a revitalized drive to the project and the foreseeable future of Hellgrammites. The band is working to push their sound to new listeners and gain national recognition within the next year.
