AMY ANGEL AND THE HELLRAISERS release new single ‘Why‘, out now on Die Laughing Records.
On January 6th Amy and Tony turned on the news and watched the attack on the U.S. Capitol. The next morning they came up with their latest track, ‘Why?’.
‘Why?’ asks people why they insist on believing the lies they’re told, even at the expense of others’ lives.

‘Why?’, the new single from AMY ANGEL and the HELLRAISERS, is a slight departure from their original ‘Cow Punk’ sound and delves into an emotional space, after watching one of the most prominent events in recent history. Whilst their signature sound still cuts through in parts, ‘Why?’ opens up a new musical direction for the band – one that shows vulnerability in reaction to the madness that occurred.

ABOUT AMY ANGEL AND THE HELLRAISERS
Amy Angel and the HellRaisers are straight outta the East Bay and they’ll have you kickin’ up your heels with their brand of Cow Punk! Their sound mixes country, punk, and psychobilly!
Several years back, Don Lamb (Donny Midnite) and Tony Lourenco (Tony Sinsinatty) talked about doing a recording project and they brought in Amy Angel and started to collaborate – with Amy Angel and the HellRaisers emerging from this, they’ve managed to create some fine story-telling songs!
In the early 80s, a 14-year-old Amy Angel was inspired by Mary Monday. This inspired Amy to sing – and she never stopped. Her family moved to the country when she was 16 but performing with a band never left her dreams. Amy plays piano, guitar, keyboards and a mean triangle! Her influences range from Gregory Porter, Cécile McLorin Salvant, Thelonius Monk and Ella Fitzgerald to name just a few.
Tony Sinsinatty’s influences range from the classics (Buck Owens and Dwight Yoakum) to the contemporary (The Paladins) to the ultra-current (The Hellflowers). Back in the 70s, he formed The Street Punks with Don Lamb, in the first wave of punk that also included Crime, The Avengers and The Mutants and The Street Punks played the Mabuhay Gardens, The Palms, On Broadway, etc. Tony provided backups and recorded with Mary Monday and he’s often played in bands with his brother, Mike Tringali (The Next with Jimmy Crucifix).
Don Lamb is a notable SF Bay Area musician who started playing bass in 1965. As a teenager, he shared the stage with The Yardbirds featuring Jimmy Page (Led Zeppelin)! During his stint in Vietnam, Don formed Cornerstone and played shows with Eddie Money, Elvin Bishop, Journey and many others. He formed The Street Punks in 1976 with Tony Lourenco, Rick Clare (Times Five/415 Records) and Kenny Cimino. They were among the earliest East Bay punk bands and opened for The Dammed at the Mab!
