The Men and I parted ways at the tail end of 2011, and Warthog began in the early months of 2012. When did Warthog officially begin? Was it after you left The Men, or was it happening concurrently? I caught up with vocalist Chris Hansell and here’s what he had to say. It’s all in there, and they deliver it in short blasts on stage and short blasts on vinyl, sticking with 7″ singles for the foreseeable future. They’re personally and spiritually intertwined with labels like Katorga Works, Iron Lung and Toxic State, and are perhaps the most ‘classic’-sounding hardcore group in the bunch, reveling in the ferocity of Headcleaners and early Poison Idea with subtle nods to No Comment, Nine Shocks Terror and Hoax to name but a few. There’s a real New York hardcore renaissance going on, and it’s almost impossible to discuss it without mentioning Warthog (or Chain Wallet, depending on your personal point of view).
