⋘"Dimebag", a tribute to the late-Pantera guitarist in the form of a grindcore medley of classic Pantera tracks, comes from an EP of the same title, as well as a discography/collection of the "FIRST 100 SONGS" by Philadelphia's own grind-maniacs +HIRS+, both releases being freely available for digital download on bandcamp.⋙

◊ ◊ ◊ ◊ ◊ BAND BIOGRAPHY & INFORMATION ◊ ◊ ◊ ◊ ◊

Formed in 2011 by two best friends in the Philadelphia area, +HIRS+ was originally conceived as being merely a fun side-project which quickly turned into a full time band with a rather devoted following in the tri-state area; their popularity has since spread on a massive scale and the grind duo has had the opportunity to tour around the world already!

Their official biography reads simply:

"+HIRS+ is a grindcore / powerviolence duo formed in Philadelphia, dedicated to harsh noise and queer politics. You can download their releases on their bandcamp page.

NO GODS//NO COPS//NO SHITHEADS"
