What the Hecks are we doing writing up a song from 2016 when the band released new music in 2023? Whatever the hell we want to do! Chicago’s The Hecks sounded different in 2016. More raw guitar, less synth pop. Shades of Devo repetition. Feels like an alt-tuned, de-tuned guitar driving the rhythm on our highlighted track “The Thaw.” Pick your poison, or just be the cool dude who only listens to the early stuff before the band got big. Do bands get big anymore?
