The Haskells

about

There are 2 bands called The Haskells: 1. In 1981, a band formed out of the Houston area new wave scene, playing at such locations as Rudyards, the Ale House, Joe Star's Omni and Rock Island. They broke up in 1984, to reform as 3 Pc. All White with substantially the same sound (and setlist) before breaking up for good in 1987. 2. Like many before and after them, L.A.’s Haskells flew the three-chord banner with fervor. More specifically, axe-slinger Mark Sogomian, by accident or not, adopted the well-manicured crunch that Bob Mould brandished on the final Husker Du record, Warehouse: Songs and Stories. To my ears, the fourteen cuts here also recall Mercyland, a band who has been discussed on these pages before. Highly recommended.
