Assjack

Initially the "punk metal" interlude during Hank Williams III's live shows, Assjack is now a full-on metal band in their own right, featuring Williams on guitar and vocals, frontman Gary Lindsey and a fluid lineup of backing musicians. After a series of bootlegs made the rounds and the band made a name for itself on Hank III's perennially lauded tours, Assjack Official Release surfaced in 2009. While there are occasional nods to hardcore and even cowpunk, the bulk of Assjack's music is a high-test combination of NOLA sludge and L.A. slick (think Superjoint Ritual with less doominess). Folks looking for "Thunderstorms & Neon Signs" may be in for a bit of a shock, but let's face it, this is Hank Jr.'s kid -- he's liable to do anything.
