HUNK! are a new band based in Dublin featuring Niamh Hegarty, Sundara O’Higgins and Gerard Mangan while Tieranniesaur’s Sal O’ Hal participates in the band when time allows. ‘Dupe’ is the band’s first single, a buzzing, grungey lo-fi primal ditty out on Soft Power Records backed with ‘Hold Out’ featuring Cave Ghosts’ Jen Connell. It’s out on digital download and cassette on the festive date of December 17th.
