We have put our heads together and came up with a way to spread our live recordings far and wide. With that, we’d like to introduce “Tickets for Tapers,” which will enlist our dedicated taper friends to come out and record H4TH performances in exchange for admission to the show they record, as well as upload it to archive.org. The music of H4TH is something that is constantly growing, and we’d love to share that with you, the community!
If you (the taper) are interested, please email HEADFORTHEHILLSNEWS@GMAIL.COM with the show you would like to come out for and we’ll get you set up. In addition, for those of you who may have pictures, videos etc…please send it our way (either via email or FB page). Feel free to upload content into the “Fan Photo” section of the H4TH Facebook page.

Head for the Hills | New Self-Titled Album:
