”Hellhouse makes their official debut with their music video for "175th St.," a song every shoegaze fan should have on hand. The Los Angeles, California-based band will aim to top your playlist with their work. The song is the first cut from their self-titled debut EP, a five-track EP available for download from Underflow Records on Friday, March 28, 2025. It combines raw lyrics, explicit visuals, and a rollercoaster of emotions that will keep your senses on edge with every detail. The mix is good, offering a clear, reverberant sound. It gets our thumbs up.”
“Written by Spino and Richard, the Hellhouse EP was recorded live with minimal overdubs, produced by longtime Coma Girls collaborator Christian Paul Phillippi (Dies) and mastered by Joey Oaxaca. Lyrically, the EP dives into covert misanthropy, struggles with alcoholism, and the darker edges of human experience, pairing raw vulnerability with towering walls of sound.”
