Amassing some pretty heavy credentials over the last few decades has made Siltbreeze the premiere imprint for degenerate rock, punk and affiliated fuzz. Issuing everything from the Dead C to Eat Skull, Siltbreeze has dedicated itself to ushering in acts heretofore unknown and banking on acts making good of their own volition.

As with anything, though, there’s good and bad. Simply by dint of the imprint’s expansiveness there’re bound to be a few efforts that folks either don’t like or don’t get. But for the most part, while the music isn’t always interrelated, acts adhere to a vision that eschews traditions granting acts entrance to other labels.

So, Hank IV’s III winds up being a bit confusing.

Firstly, no this act has nothing to do with Hank Williams and his expansive clan. Secondly, yes, it’s caused a few flair ups, but probably more from confused would-be fans than from lawyers and the like, ‘cause really, there’s no problem to be had. Either way, Hank IV doesn’t really compare to anything else that Siltbreeze has dealt with in the past.

There is a pervasive punk cum hard rock thing at work over III’s eight tracks and twenty five minutes. And while most folks would assume that the hardrock just referenced would have something to do with seventies weirdoes, it doesn’t.
