Harkonen
Someone put āHey You Millionaires, Get Out Of That Garbageā by Harkonen over a Kids in the Hall sketch and itās kind of a masterpiece.
I watched Dune for the second time yesterday. This inspired me to use it as the subject matter for my daily watercolor exercises.

Every Record I Own - Day 527: Harkonen Shake Harder Boy
Iāve now talked about over 500 of my albums here and I sometimes struggle to talk about certain records without slipping into hyperbole.Ā Certainly not every album I own is a winner, and sometimes I have to be frankĀ about how some of the selectionsĀ donāt necessarily resonate with me, how they remain in the collection as challenges or keepsakes. But overall I would describe the majority of my records asĀ āgood,ā so after nearly three years of writing about my albums, how do I adequately communicate that something is not just goodĀ butĀ actually great? Iām gonna give it a shot with Harkonenās Shake Harder Boy.
Full disclaimer: I played guitar in a very early iteration of Harkonen, back when they were a noisy hardcore band called Doubting Thomas. Bassist Ben Verellen was the kid brother to the singer in my main band, Botch, and ourĀ roadie Mike Jones handled vocal duties. I think a grand total of one riff I wrote for the band managed to survive long enough to show up on the first Harkonen demo, but thatās the only vestige of my time in the group. I quit after a couple of show because I didnāt even own a guitar and I felt bad borrowing gear from people.
Harkonen would release a few 7ā³s and EPs with rotating cast members before downsizing to a three-piece withĀ a guitarist named Bill Quimby (who would later start These Arms Are Snakes with our other guitarist Ryan Frederiksen). They released their debut self-titled LP with this line-up, and the album is still a solid slab of lateĀ ā90s drop-tuned noise-addled hardcore---think Deadguy meets Unbroken. But Quimby bowed out after a tour West Coast tour with Jesuit despite getting picked up by Hydra Head Records.Ā
The rhythm section duo of Ben Verellen and drummer Matt Howard recruited their friend Casey Hardy to take over guitar duties. Hardy was primarily an indie rock kid, a disciple of the Northwest sound exemplified by bands like Modest Mouse and Built to Spill. But that PNW musical fixation also extended to bands like Karp and Melvins, and Hardy absorbed their molasses-thick tones and proto-grunge power chord riffage and incorporated it all into Harkonenās new sound, first captured on the bandās Grizz EP.Ā
But the band hit their apex with the release of their 2002 LP Shake Harder Boy. Take the heaviest moments in the Nirvana catalog, the thunderous scrappiness of Karpās self-titled LP, and a healthy dose of hardcore energy and you have a good sonic approximation of the eleven tracks on Harkonenās sophomore album. Itās far more straightforward than their debut album, as if the band realized that a few simple ideas made for stronger songs than shoehorning a dozen complicated riffs into three-minute chunks. Literally every song on the album is a banger, an onslaught of propulsive mid-tempo sludge-punk. If the band hadnāt been continuously derailed by bad luck---dropped tours, broken limbs, equipment theft, a disastrous set at Krazy Fest---they wouldāve undoubtedly carried the torch for the heavy Pacific Northwest sound. Instead, the band quietly broke up around 2004.Ā
My love for this record obviously has something to do with being around the guys as they made this music. It resonates with me because it comes from a musical community I was a part of. But people didnāt forget about Harkonen after they broke up. The band reunited in 2010 for a series of sold out shows on both the West and East Coasts. Philly label Brutal Panda issued this vinyl version of the album in 2011, which quicklyĀ sold out and now fetches decent prices on Discogs. You can hear vestiges of Harkonenās brand of heaviness in the more confrontational moments of Verellenās current band, the revered Helms Alee. And ultimately, anytime I throw this record on around the uninitiated, there is a new convert.Ā
I may be biased, but I love this album. And you should too.Ā
What do you despise? By this are you truly known.
