When HÆCTOR from Eimsbüttel enter the ring their gruff, powerful indie rock, they don’t skimp on subtly divisive criticism of the times. But instead of faces distorted with rage, the Hamburg four-piece has been countering everyday tragedy since 2016 with sympathetic, casual humor and an extra dose of confidence. The listeners are blown away by relentlessly timeless anthems. The ambience created combines electric sounds, distorted basses, striking guitar riffs and an expressive baritone voice; it appreciates the spaciousness of the stadium, but still prefers the rancid indie shed.
