Hooked Like Helen

"I Don't Mind" is our ode to unprocessed trauma

Chaotic, Charismatic, Bat-sh*t Crazy. In that order. Cleveland-based Hooked Like Helen’s latest single, “Lend Me Your Ear” is a wild ride. From the slickly produced opening bars to the thrashing riffs and epic final hook, this song is chock full of what makes rock actually ROCK. Energy and Attitude. "Lend Me Your Ear" is the first single and title track for Hooked Like Helen’s much anticipated forthcoming EP, and an anthem for those who are fed-up with being held down in a world where the game is rigged against them. Melodic and relentlessly catchy, this track was co-produced by HLH’s own frontwoman, Nikki Stipp and multi-platinum A-lister K Thrash (Jelly Roll, MGK), and mixed by Chris Collier (Korn). A blend of classic heavy metal and prog rock arrangements, modern vocal production and grandiose piano, "Lend Me Your Ear" is a 3 min 36 sec dive into the mind of a woman who is confident, indignant, unhinged and free.

Just a little song about the infamous serial killer, Aileen Wournos. Co-produced by Nikki Stipp and K Thrash. Mixed by Chris Collier Copyright 2024
