The Hells - He's the devil (but I love him so)

by Dave Artrocker

Video still by Kelda Hole

Once upon a time, nostalgia fans, Artrocker was a record label that put out a few fine releases by a handful of fine bands. One of the best of these, was The Hells.

I stumbled across this promo video this afternoon and couldn’t resist the impulse to share it with you all. A great song by a band that never got the attention they truly deserved.
