Artist History The Darkest of the Hillside Thickets is a band that is dedicated to promoting the literature of H.P. Lovecraft, who wrote of lost cities, tainted geneology, alien gods, and that fabled tome, The Necronomicon. The Thickets haven't been able to get ahold of the ancient spellbook, but they've got their own brand of corruption. They're on a Lovecraft binge of madness, and they mean to take you with them . . . . . The Darkest of the Hillside Thickets have a reputation for entrancing and inciting their live audiences with their melodic blend of energetic punk and rock, while wearing graphic costumes that help bring their good-naturedly macabre songs to life. Their latest project is the soundtrack to the much-anticipated film Spaceship Zero, based on the classic German TV sci-fi series from the 1970s.

Group Members Merrick Atkinson, Toren Atkinson, Warren Banks, Bob Fugger & Jordan Pratt

Albums Spaceship Zero, Great Old Ones, Cthulhu Strikes Back

Press Reviews "Energetic pop punk with a twist of Lovecraft and a dash of outer space." - NewMusicWest . . . . . "A goofy mix of power-pop, Black Sabbath, and full-on alien invasion" - Michael Kissinger, Monday Magazine
