4 years slugging away as one of the core bands of the current northwest music mix.
4 years of developing the Herkemer voice by members Bryan Ronshaugen, Andy Pibal, Ed Andrews, and Hans Wagner.
4 years of no band member changes.
Any attempt to describe the sound would discredit the music. Gotta' listen. Just know that Herkemer is driven by relentless rhythm, loud cool guitars, and a shifty blend of vocals.
Lyrics? The penal system won't let Manson have a copy of Herkemer stuff, but Bryan says it's just a bunch of gibberish.
Herkemer's discography includes:
1) HERKEMER, 1999
