Sacramento, United States (2001 – present)

Hella began in 2001 in Sacramento, California as a two member band consisting of Zach Hill and Spencer Seim writing technically intricate music of a highly spastic nature. They play a blend of math rock, noise rock and avant-garde. On early albums, the band forged their classic sound, playing minimally arranged, abrasive instrumentals that still retain an idiosyncratic sense of melody.

In 2005, the band expanded their live band by adding Dan Elkan on vocals, rhythm guitar, and synth and Jonathan Hischke on bass guitar. In 2006, Hella’s line-up was expanded to include Hill’s cousin, Josh Hill (guitar), Spencer’s Advantage bandmate Carson McWhirter (bass) and Aaron Ross (Vocals).

Chirpin Hard is so underrated. Shame that Hold Your Horse Is gets all of the attention.

Zach Hill is possibly the greatest drummer ever. Spencer Seim is also a fuckin' beast.

I was watching Zach Hill watch Brian Chippendale play at FYF. I swear, if their eyes met at all the whole world would have exploded.
