Founded in 2009, War Hound out of the Chicago land suburbs, have unleashed a new flavor of hardcore upon Chicago and the rest of the world. Heavily influenced by bands like Crown of Thornz, Breakdown and Madball, they recently finished recording their debut EP “For The Hounds”. This 11 minute debut, also including a Crown Of Thornz cover “Love Sick”, caught the attention of I Scream Records and only a few weeks later War Hound and I Scream Records signed a deal.
“When we received this EP I was happily surprised by the fresh sound of these Chicago youngster”, Laurens Kusters says. “Besides working with the established bands we’re always on the lookout for the new breed of hardcore. Bands that can grown into the classics of the next generation. War Hound is definitely one of those bands so keep an eye out for these guys.”
