No relation whatsoever to the Hank Williams clan, San Francisco quintet Hank IV's hard-charging and visceral dual-guitar rock punk has been likened to "Crime meets Viletones meets Styrenes" (Z-Gun Magazine) and described by WFMU's DJ Terre T as "a sick combination of Volcano Suns, Blue Cheer and Chain Gang!"

Hank IV just finished recording their third full-length LP which will be released this fall on Siltbreeze, and features prominently in the recently released Gonerfest 4 DVD from Goner Records in Memphis. Their past two albums, Refuge in Genre (Siltbreeze) and Third Person Shooter (Hook or Crook) charted on such stations as KUSF, KDVS, and WFMU.

Hank IV recordings are available on iTunes, eMusic, Amazon, Volcanic Tongue (UK), Soundflat (Germany) and all digital services.
