  • 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.

about

I was doing a lot more gigs in the indie rock circuit there. The 'folk' community hadn't really discovered me then and the elements of that community that had were pretty skeptical. Often I would be sandwiched between two grunge bands on a three band bill. They were often pretty condescending to me, particularly before I played. In retrospect it was for the best, it toughened me up for some of the larger gigs I was going to play.

lyrics

Band, band, band band I don't give a fuck about your band band band band I don't think you really understand, you're bland and oh so second hand, man oh man oh man.

Chew, chew, chew, chew, my ear off talking about you you you you get a buck and try and buy a clue, you aren't Husker Du, you ain't even Motley Crue, oh man it's sad but true.

And go and Xerox someone's life and put your name, a big man at the bar your claim to fame-Xerox someone's life and put your name...

One one one one uncommon idea before you're done for you unique is a phenomenon, your ego weighs a ton and there it blocks the sun my little simpleton...

And go and Z-Roxx someone's life and put your name a big man at the bar your claim to fame Xerox someones life and put your name!
