First Talbot Tagora, now Unnatural Helpers (pictured courtesy, um, Charlie Homo. I swear that’s what it says on the site.) It’s obvious that Hardly Art, like Sub Pop, is bent on world dominance. Or at least Seattle dominance. Anyway, Unnatural Helpers are a pretty righteous Seattle punk band with two former members of The Catheters, an ex-Sub Pop band of which I was especially fond and whose presence on the musical scene I miss dearly. Unnatural Helpers is ex-Catheters guitarists Brian Standeford (also of Idle Times and Tall Birds) and Leo Gephardt (Tall Birds), The Dutchess and the Duke’s Kimberley Morrison on bass, though the band is the brain child of Dean Whitmore, who drums and sings. Now that’s not something you see every day. Sometimes, but not every day. Unnatural Helpers’ next album will come out on Hardly Art. What have those crazy kids got up their sleeve next, I wonder?
