Specifics on Hector's Pets are pretty cloudy at the moment. They've released only one 7'' on Burger Records (props on that album art of course). They're Brooklyn-based via Austin but play shows pretty infrequently. Judging from their set at Get Bent's 1-Year Anniversary Party I'd say this all adds up to them being too busy working on their power-pop magnum opus. Hector's Pets has a really unique sound - melding understated vocals with ripping guitar and bluesy rhythmic inflections. And of course it's very, very catchy. The band has a slightly goofy charm (members listed names? Wet Pet, Heavy Pet, Teacher's Pet etc.) but these melodies are most definitely serious. Keep an eye on these dudes. -LC
