and grandson of the rambling man. For all of the country cool his lineage should evoke Hank Williams III plays it odd and hot taking on the depressed tension of his forebears as well as their addictions literary and literal. While those obsessions have yielded elegant traditional country songs and honky-tonkers wistful in their execution there’s a darker side to Hank III – the hard-core death-metal one he’s long put forth in concert as Assjack.

Now known to us as the originator of the term “crabcore” which has nothing to do with the nature of the music but rather the way in which band members squat and sway like crabs when they play breakdowns. Defining image characteristic is quintessential scene kid androgyny complete with toddler jeans v-neck shirts and female art student haircuts.
