Sam Hill is the devil. The band originally formed in 2013 to be the backing band for some of Nate and Cam’s pop-punk tunes, but with the added influence of Jason and his harder hitting tastes turned into what is now Sam Hill. All members of the band have been playing regionally for 20+ years and have been friends for just as long. Themes on the record range from tree people (37 rings), to life taking a form of a bullet, to ice giants (scourge of the warm-blooded), to the love of the woods by Maine’s own North Pond Hermit: Mr. Christopher Knight (Wait for me). The song ‘Serpents’ refers to an experience of losing 3 friends in a freezing winter river and being the last to see them alive. Lithuanian Maiden was a piece inspired by a piece of artwork by Joshua Belanger, a local NH artist.

The Sound reviews Sam Hill’s new album ‘Sonja’

You can read the review here

Nate Laban was born to rock and roll. He’s been an integral part of the Seacoast music scene for more than 20 years, always with a contagious smile on his face. His career has spanned a multitude of solo incarnations and bands including Brook, Bear and The Elephant, The Frosting, and Wallos. Over the years, he’s done it all, from anti-folk to skate punk to country; his quirky storytelling works in most any genre. When ex-Satan’s Teardrops drummer Jason Lara steered Sam Hill, their newly formed group, toward playing metal, it was a natural fit. Their debut album, “Sonja,” is a fresh throwback to metal’s classic days of mythical creatures and tales.

It’s not surprising Laban’s vocal stylings and pop know-how work well over galloping riffs and Tony Iommi-influenced solos. His powerful voice and registry have always been suited for metal. Never one to settle into a genre or project for long, Laban indulges in this chance to let loose a torrent of epic songs. The result is an inventive alchemy of an accomplished songwriter’s take on a new genre. Recorded by the band, “Sonja” has a slightly lo-fi sound that gives it a nostalgic feel — think “Day of Reckoning”-era Pentagram meets newer Saint Vitus.

The opener, “37 Rings,” is a stoner metal jam that chronicles a tree being cut down in winter; it doubles as an introspective story and features a chorus that shows off Laban’s hook-y aptitude. “Scourge of the Warm Blooded” displays his writing chops in an epic about a frozen giant who has come to destroy man: “He has had as much as he can take, enormous the patience, equal in rage.” And their cover of Black Sabbath’s “Electric Funeral” is spot on. In Sam Hill, Laban has found a transcendent medium for his harder-edged endeavors. Let’s hope it lasts

Seacoast Online names Thrift Store Ransom and Nate Laban & Sam Hill among their top local albums of 2014

Thrift Store Ransom – “Thrift Store Ransom”

Thrift Store Ransom started as an RPM project, and turned into a full-fledged “thing” that wound up being picked up by Rhode Island-based record label, “75-or-Less.” Not too shabby. My favorite part of this project is the collaboration between frontman Eric Ott and his teenaged daughter, Lindsay. She wrote several of the songs included on the effort, including “Moonshine,” one of the year’s finest penned tunes, hands down.

Nate Laban & Sam Hill – “Nate Laban & Sam Hill”

Nate Laban is simply the best punk-folker on the planet. His brand of music is somewhere in the vein of Elvis Costello hanging with the Clash – pumping out jam after jam. “Nate Laban & Sam Hill” does not venture away from that recipe at all. And why would one want to? So good. So aggressive. So feisty.

Nate Laban & Sam Hill is the debut release from the band. It is an 11 song introduction. The songs are a collection of stories and characters from every day working class New Hampshire (from which they hail). There are songs about genuine alien abduction, teen struggle, real fat camps, as well as fat camps of the mind. In this record Nate takes on The Devil, which is Sam Hill and all the things he is able to conjure. What is to come, and the sound the future holds depends on the outcome of this battle. Listen carefully.
