Hive Smasher is looking for a new vocalist. We practice in Westport Mass, but as long as you can get to Quincy, very T accessible, I can get you the rest of the way. The candidate must have a good screaming range: highs dominantly but lows and anything else is great, A strong voice is mandatory. We practice weekly and try to play shows as much as possible. Demonstrated ability and "connections" are a huge plus: recordings, live videos, booking agents, etc. You only need yourself as we have tons of pro gear. You can hear us at www.myspace.com/hivesmasher. Please listen primarily to Unwinged and study the vocal rhythms. If you are still interested, send us a message or email and we'll give you lyrics and another song to learn. Other than that, we have a great time playing together and just want someone who has a good stage presence and wants to join in on the fun. Rock!!!!

Good stuff, hope you guys find someone soon.

Hell, if I weren't moving across the country, I'd give it a shot.

i didn't know there were bands in westport. that's where i live. good luck with the vocalist search.

Thanks, spread the word if you don't mind

I like the band name.

Who did the vocals on the recordings you have now? I'd be interested for sure. I am right in new bedford too. Definitly have good contacts.

Our long time friend Dan Bythewood. He is moving on to a career in tattooing now that being a rock star is out of the question due to his worsening tinnitus. If you're interested, send an email to sxejustin@bywires.com. Thanks!

I'm very close to Westport and have nearly blown up a few soundboards because I'm fucking loud...

This is pretty awesome. I'm good for contacts, promotion, all that shit. I had my last band playing every weekend usually.

go for it, pam. hive smasher should definitely give pam an audition. she's very organized, has her shit together, can scream like a motherfucker, and helped her last band gain a pretty good following in a short time. she'd be a nice addition to the band.

I was waiting for a burn that didn't come. Thanks, Ken. haha.

sometimes i am nice. only sometimes.

I'm always nice.

no you aren't

I'll cut you.

hey justin, I'm moving back to boston in may! hold off tryouts until then!(you obviously don't have to haha)

Yay for trying out.

This is awesome. We really appreciate the interest that this has spawned. I guess we're doing something right?

you'll be doing more right if you give pam a tryout.

def. doing something right

Alright, we have pretty much finalized the list of people who are trying out. Anyone is still welcome to contact us about trying out but we have set up the first audition day as 4/22 from 11am to 5-6pm. Depending on how many show up or contact me after this post, we may set another day. There are a lot of strong voices already but don't hesitate to try if you think you're a good fit. If you're interested in trying out you can check us out at www.myspace.com/hivesmasher. Send me an email (sxejustin@bywires.com) and I'll send you the album and the songs to do. Thanks for the interest and support, we are really happy with the way this is going. Rock!!!

I agree! I'm trying out too. I am pumped. If this doesn't work out for you, I may have another something for you too. I'll let you know as time rolls on.

Are you allowing Panda Bears to try out? If not, nevermind.

sounds good, Josh

Just an FYI: Dan has officially left Hive Smasher for good. He said that he believed playing these last two shows would just be too difficult to do. We wish him the best of luck. For those of you who have contacted me about auditions, we may be able to meet earlier than expected. Let me know if that works for you. Any one else interested in trying out, email me at sxejustin@bywires.com and check us out at www.myspace.com/hivesmasher.

I can play ukelele in a pink testicle hammock, while snorting and grunting.
Does this count?

That counts for everything.

agreed

ready to rock.

So is pam the new singer?

Aaron Michael is going to take over vocals for us and crush small infants on stage. Its going to be awesome. You can hear us on www.myspace.com/hivesmasher and can look forward to us bothering you live soon. Thanks to everyone who showed interest and who tried out!

Oh word ok

Aaron Michael's name confuses me cause The Reverend is Aaron Michael Pepelis

so I first thought it was him

Aaron rules. Now he is in 2 bad ass bands! I can't wait to see you guys. Mind if stop by sometime and hang out?
