  • Hamell not only records music, performs live, does independent writing, he also paints. All of the images below, and many you see as the accompanying artwork on the digital releases, are Hamell paintings. These vary in size and price, but are all acrylic on canvas. Hamell paints scenes inspired by the 'underground' and 'disenfranchised' of our society. Ed uses bold and bright colors in his paintings which contrast the darker subject matter, championing the underclass, drawing you into the characters he depicts, endearing you to them and sparking emotions one might not anticipate.Hamell is also available for specific painting commissions.

lyrics

Are you tired of the same old food chain franchises? Then waddle on down to The trough, America's newest and most exciting eating establishment! remember, IT'S ALL GOOD!!!

From the moment you're blown out of the front seat of your SUV by our giant air compression guns and gently settled into your Barco-lounger feedbag chairs complete with our Lypo-suction jowl and belly leach hoses, you can put your brain and the majority of your motor skills on stand by. We pride ourselves here at The Trough you won't be using any muscles at our eating establishment. Our friendly immigrant staff will even chew the food for you and spit it back in your mouth at no extra charge...you know doing those jobs us Americans don't want to do.

We start with four pounds of fatty beef, smother that in 7 kinds of cheeses and bacon,add an egg, a boneless pork chop, a waffle, our mystery sausage and we plunge that masterpiece into ranch dressing and onion rings. We accentuate with curly fries and hash browns and then we jam it all into a bread basket. Could we...Could we? COULD WE roll that all into a chicken Parmesan burrito shell? You bet we could! Smothered in gravy and garnished with a roasted quail and poodle tips it arrives at your table. Lay back and enjoy sporting events on your individual monitor screens as Enrico and Juanita shovel that delectable dish in your mouth and then wash it all down with a 64 oz mug of maple syrup...our favorite. And now, after the appetizer, it's on to the main course!

We produce our own prize winning pigs right here on the premises. Good thing you're wearing that air tight bib and Senior Sanchez slaughters that swine table-side. Would you like to join in the fun but you're squeamish? We put a towel on the pigs head and call him a terrorist and hand you a razor sharp machete...you join in or you're Un-American. Do you like your chops tartar? Stick your head in the pigs belly and eat your way out...it's ALL GOOD here at The Trough.

Are you feeling full? You're feeling a little bit logy? You want to continue...well we wheel you over to our vomitorium, stick our fingers down your throat and empty you out. That giant moat of bile is how The Trough got it's name, there's no need for embarrassment, and it's back to your table and you're ready for dessert.

We cover you with 52 scoops of ice cream, chocolate sauce, caramel syrup, whipped cream, candied strawberries, coconut corn flakes, a kilo of cashews, douse it with cognac and light the entire thing on fire. Inside your flaming sugar igloo you'll literally be fighting for your life as you suck your way to safety. Then we wheel you over to our custom hosing den where we blast you clean with water. Let Juanita take 20 or 30 feet of your lower intestine out of your ass for a 'salt-down'. Wanna bring home some of our award winning Nachos? We'll rent you the truck to do it. So waddle on down to The Trough, an unrivaled American eating experience. It's anorexic and bulimic friendly and remember...IT'S ALL GOOD!!
