The Perverted Hymns: Band Overview and Songs

Emerging in 2010, The Perverted Hymns burst onto the Lower East Side of New York's music scene, blending raw, hardcore energy with melodic finesse. Founded by Chris Kane and W.H. Willy, the band became known for their electrifying live performances that combined high-energy music with theatrical fire-eating burlesque acts. Their unique style brought together the lyrical depth of the Beatles and Nirvana, and their politically aware yet profoundly personal themes delved into rebellion, identity, and the soul’s struggles.

The Perverted Hymns weren't just a band—they were a visceral experience, lighting up the underground music scene and inspiring a passionate, ever-growing fanbase. Their music lives on through their electrifying tracks and side projects, such as The Pillz’ First Dose album, fronted by Ed Pillz, offering the same signature edge in a trio format.
