For the first time in a decade and a half, there’s a full album of new music by The Hates on the horizon. The punk band’s iconic front man Christian Kidd told the Houston Press what and who encouraged him to commit to record the latest songs he’s written in a six-decade career and he shared a couple of those songs for a Houston Press exclusive first listen.
Christian Kidd, founder, lead guitarist and singer of seminal Houston punk band The Hates ran into the Ramones by chance at a Houston 7-Eleven store back on February 19, 1978 after their show at the now defunct On The Border club.
