Hired Fun
Carson City, NV Punk/Metal
Debut album out now Hired Fun strives to create high-energy music that will keep a crowd moshing one minute and dancing the next.
From the depths of a Golden Corral chocolate fountain emerges Hired Fun, a thrash punk band consisting of four friends from Carson City, NV. Brought together by our love of 70s-80s metal & punk, Hired Fun encapsulates the true definition of crossover music, as chunky metal riffs collide at hardcore punk velocity.

This is Lord Humungous. Normally he would tell you in a whisper, “Just walk away. Just walk away.”
Well guess what, this time Lord is telling you to “Walk to Fernley Inferno.” (I mean you can take a car or a bike or a squirrel suit)
But boy I wouldn’t want to be you if Humungous doesn’t see you thrashing around post apocalyptic style.
There’s even a QR code to get tickets. Hassle free and Lord Humungous won’t break your spine into a toothpick.
Have a Great Day 😘

In case you missed it, we recorded a set at Bridge City Sessions in Portland last September (the same day that our album released!) during our last run of Oregon shows with Felipendejo. Nick and Jordan did such a killer job on the video recording and editing, while Mike and Frank worked their audio magic to deliver one of our best-sounding recordings to date. Felipendejo also recorded a session on the same day, (we got to watch it live 😎) so be sure to check his out as well.
