About
From the shores of Springfield
past the Grand Chasm
and like a Canyonero zipping through Route 401
we are HIRED GOONS.
Gabba Gabba D'OH!
Meet Monty, Homer, Otto, and Kodos - joined together to celebrate their favorite band, while writing new songs about what goes on in their little town. Currently these fantastic foursome are playing shows around the Chicagoland area.
Starting off as a Ramones cover band, we started writing our own songs about our favorite show in that fast, hard, and hook-driven way. The result is "Everything's Coming Up Milhouse," 12 songs of increased punk rock craziness, from the silly and standard rocker "I Like Revening" to the all out sonic war of "Stupid Sexy Flanders."
The album is available via Amazon MP3, Interpunk, our own site, and various stores in the Chicagoland area. If you're interested in carrying our debut CD at your store, we of course offer wholesale prices, email us! Otherwise, it's $12 to buy from us directly via paypal hiredgoons76@gmail.com (or you can email us to send us a check...either way, we REALLY appreciate it if you buy directly from us, but feel free to buy the CD anywhere). Please note that the CD has TWO extra songs not found on any digital delivery offer; these are covers and we only have the right to put them on the CD, so there's your incentive to get the album (plus, fantastic artwork from our friend Matt Million...he's the guy with the name!).
If you like hard rock, metal, stoner rock, punk rock, hardcore...we like a lot of these things too, and it shows in our music. We're influenced by the Ramones but we're not trying to copy them! You'll find some nods to Anthrax, Metallica, the Misfits, Screeching Weasel, who knows what else...but we still did our best to make a straight ahead punk ROCK album and it shows. So check out the songs on this site and buy a CD!
