HAZZARD'S CURE
San Francisco, California based Hazzard's Cure is a four piece heavy metal band. Not easily categorized, they have a sound that only be considered as distinctively "Bay Area."
Clint (drums), Chris (guitar) and Leo (guitar) began developing new material for their post Orb Of Confusion project in late Spring of 2009, eventually recruiting Shane (Walken) on bass. They played their first show (as Waylin Jenocide) on August 7 of that year. There was a hiatus in fall 2009 as Clint broke his collar bone and couldn’t play drums for six weeks. They played their first show as Hazzard’s Cure on February 7th, 2010, and released a three song demo just in time for their April 2010 West Coast Tour.
The band has been touring the West Coast on a regular basis, playing shows with such bands as Eyehategod, Unsane and Black Cobra, and has finally released it's debut full length album in October 2011 on Lummox Records and Stop Go Destroy Tapes.
The album, recorded by Greg Wilkinson (Brainoil) at Earhammer Studios in Oakland, and mastered by Justin Weiss (clients include Hammers Of Misfortune, Ludicra and Slough Feg) has been met with critical acclaim, and is surely destined for even greater things.
The band released a new three song EP called "The Ugly" on Stop Go Destroy Tapes in April 2014, and on Vinyl, via Lummox Records, in November 2014.
