The Hitt Boyz consist of Nick Morgan - Drums, William Ogletree - Guitar/vocal, Brandon Schreiner - Bass, and Adam Thornbrugh - Guitar/vocal (also in Tallows)
These guys quickly became one of my local favorites due to the sheer energy they put into their music alone. They're uhm, very eccentric dudes. William had on this crazy awesome glitter unicorn t-shirt and they were just way laid back people. They're also another bunch of UCM kids! As you can see, Nick is also in this band (Giraffe Massacre too) They were super friendly, although I wasn't at the event with expectations of writing about much. I was wooed by their one lyric, "woo!" and decided i'd write about them too.
Their style is a lot different than a lot of the local prog/math bands, a lot dreamier, something good to listen to on a rainy day or road trip, almost reminiscent of the older jade tree stuff minus vocals, or way lighter explosions in the sky. There wasn't anything really heavy about them, just a bunch of average, slightly nerdy dudes way into their music. I admit, they had a very dramatic stage performance, though. They all fell down at the end of their set and I thought, aww! Alphabitz happens to be my personal favorite, followed closely by Best Cat. They seem to really dig Cats, Grandpas, Pokemon and Dragon Ball-Z.
The Hitt Boyz have released three albums on soundcloud, and I know they've also had quite a bit of member switching, though i'm unsure who the previous members were. I'd definitely recommend checking them out, as they're one of the better progressive bands in the area and it's impossible not to smile at their stage performance.
Ps- These Boyz do not condone the hitting of Boyz.
