Artist History For twenty-one years,HATES have stalked the soft white underbelly of the Texas music scene with wry, piercing punk-pop missles from their instrumental crossbows.From the halycon days of the legendary ISLAND CLUB to today's rock venues and "alternative" showplaces,HATES are rightly credited as "Houston's First and Last Punk Band!"-Public News. In 1978 Christian Arnheiter and Robert Kainer saw the Sex Pistols during their American tour and formed The Guyana Boys Choir which quickly evolved into HATES whose historic first recording in December of that same year is preserved on the compilation 45 "Rather See You Dead!" with other Houston punk bands Legionaire's Disease and Really Red. Throughout 1979, the original line-up of Arnheiter, Kainer and Glenn Sorvisto released three savage E.P.'s before breaking up in 1980. Long out of print, these much sought after vinyl landmarks are collected on the German import CD "Contamination Disc" along with the HATES mark II debut LP "Panacea" (1981) featuring new members Paul Minot and Lawrence Baker. Throughout the eighties, HATES continued to perform and record with additional musicians including Buzz Lux and the incomparable Donne' producing "Five" (1985) and in 1988, "Xenophobia" produced by Dale Brooks. By 1992, a seventh recording, "New World Oi!" plated a metallic sheen over the HATES' hurricane melodies, adding John Hawkins and Eric Andrews with new production by ex-HATE, Paul Minot with Dale Brooks. "Texas Insanity" (1993) with Dave Deviant and Screech, presents a more Tex-O-Centric view of HATES topics with emphasis on the New World (Dis)Order and other Post-Cold War illusions. 1995 saw the release of "Greatest HATES", a compact history of the band's output redone (very expensively) by the 1993 line up packaged with the very first HATES recordings from 1978, a radio interview with DJ Phat larynx, and more all on one CD... Sounds indespensable,doesn't it?1996 was marked by no fewer than 4 appearances by HATES on compilation albums including the World-Wide Damned Tribute CD (get this) "IT'S A DAMNED DAMNED DAMNED DAMNED WORLD!" produced by Henrick Poulsen,publisher of the NEAT DAMNED NOISE Fanzine and owner of NDN Records...whew!"HATES X"(1997) Slams three new HATESSONGS and a remix of NEATDAMNEDNOISE Fave "See Her Tonight" into a limited edition seven-inch vinyl wallop featuring the piledriver slam-drumming of Joel Juggernaut in his foundation-shattering debut. "Clockwork Heroes" leads off with a snotty vocal turn by Dave Deviant,Thunder-god and inventor of the lead bass.As always,HATES are helmed by the world's forgotten boy,Christian Arnheiter who makes so good the crunchcrunch guitar sounds and the burbled yet bemused vocal observations."HATES:1999 'FORBIDDEN EXISTENCE'"(1999) Marks the returnto the CD-length action with nineteen new snarling, sniggeringanthems for 'The End Of The World As We Know It'. Handsomenew mixws of HATES X and Flash-Fried Rockabilly are shapedin the distinctive HATES manner and served with scauldingshovels of social commentary......"Forbidden Existence" Is the Pu-Pu Platter of Punk! Embodying Punk Icons from the Fifties,Seventies andNineties,HATES continue writting Survival Music For The Future.WOT Brave New Worlds Beckon HATES chortling theirBrave New Words? WOT Futuristic Terrors lie beneath thefetid crust of this Island Earth?It's ALL DIGITAL,Boys and Girls!!!But keep those ANALOGUE MASTERS Fer Shur! -Dale Brooks-

Albums FORBIDDEN EXISTENCE (current)

Press Reviews The HATES (2nd)EP- Faceless Records (vinyl) Yet more minimal headbanging from Texas. In the grand 1 2 3 4 purist tradition (shades of Middle Class), very approximate recording job no doubt for strict ideological reasons. No new wave limp shit around here, no neo nothing, you drink your punk straight or you don't come bugging us. Get the message? Beats the surrounding college crap any day.---KICK / Slash Magazine (Los Angeles) 4/80
