Double Feature: The Hutchinson Brothers


In 1994 Brian Hutchinson was 17 years old and ready as ever to play his heart out in a hardcore band.  Before he went onto play in bands like Goodbye, Blue Monday and I Am Heaven, Brian played together with his Brother Todd as Foghornet.  Foghornet unfortunately has no recordings (that I'm aware of...) but the brothers would soon form the band Lollycolumn with their friend Jim Palmer.

Lollycolumn lasted about as long if not shorter than all of Brian's other bands, but they played some pretty bitchin' hardcore.  It's pretty impressive to hear Brian at such a young age already so well rounded as a musician and singer.  Filter is my favorite of the two tracks, but I love both.


4 years later Brian and Todd came back together with Dave Moylan (formerly in Elements of Need) and Stan in a band called North.  Equally short-lived the band only released a two track 7".  The music is a little different from their previous projects, mostly instrumental with only a few lyrics yelled in the first track.
