Hellfire Sox

The band was formed in Kyiv, Ukraine in year 2000, by two school friends Den and Alex. They used to seat at the same desk and to make troubles for the teachers for many years. The main reason for making a band was the fact, that they were taking drugs and worshiped the devil (just kiddin:)). The matter was in their first true punk rock record. The Offspring!!! Their great energy drove guys crazy. Thats how everything began. First attempts in guitar playing looked not so pretty, but patience and persistence had a result. Things were gettin better. Haveing written a couple of songs, they understood what they really needed. The purpose was A REAL PUNK ROCK BAND, thats why they needed a bass player and a drummer. Den and Alex met their bassist Ivan at the punk rock show. He didnt know how to play the bass or even how to hold it in the right way, but he was an awesome guy. Thats why they started to play together. Finally guys met their drummer Heavy. He was playing with a few local bands at the same time, but he left them for playing with Hellfire Sox. Den says that he doesnt remember when the bands Birthday is. So for the day of the Bands Birthday Hellfire Sox chose a day of their first show (14.12.03). The Band had a kick ass debut in the local club Barvy. Guys had a lot of shows in Kyiv, Ukraine and in summer of 2004 Sox began to make their first LP. The work was hard and besides they had poor experience in a record making. As a result - the First Invasion album. The hot mixture of punk rock and psychobilly with horror lyrics was released on may 28 of 2005. On the same day Sox had a show in City club in St. Petersburg (Russia). Also they had one more show in Russia at Hellfire Fest 2 in Ivanovo (12.06.05). Russia shows were a great experience for the band. October the 8 was the last show with their drummer Heavy. They began to realize that he didnt give his due to the band and they decided to fire him. Pacho is a new drummer who replaced previous one. Hes a nice person and gifted musician. They all get well together and work hard over the program for their new shows. Read more on Last.fm.
