The Hunger

Brothers Wilson, Jeff and Thomas, the original founding members behind Houston’s industrial rock band, THE HUNGER, have returned to their roots in 2023 after signing with Wake Up Music Rocks, a division of Wake Up Music Group. Along with Jeff Smith (guitar), and Alex Slay (drums), the group has released their 8th studio album, first on Wake Up Music Rocks, titled “Bloodlines.” Produced by Christopher Hall (Stabbing Westward, The Dreaming), the 10-song album blends electronics with melodies, something their loyal fanbase will definitely approve of. “Tears to Cry,” which is the first song released from the new project, features gut-wrenching personal lyrics from Jeff Wilson. “I write on truths, not fiction,” said Jeff. “In this case, this song is loosely based on my drug-rattled years. The first girl I ever lived with not only screwed my head up, but she was a drug dealer, so the entire inspiration of this song was about living with her and not realizing how bad the situation was. Unfortunately I believed in this girl, but she had my head twisted up. It took years to figure out.” The record also features a masterful reinvention of Concrete Blonde’s 1990 track, “Bloodletting (The Vampire Song),” as well as remix of “Vanishing Cream” from the 1996 album, “The Devil Thumbs a Ride,” on Universal Records. The song received massive airplay on rock stations around the country and reached No. 4 on Billboard’s Mainstream Rock charts. For complete bio visit thehungeronline.com
