Hamell On Trial is Ed Hamell with his thrashed acoustic guitar. A genre is something that he defies, although most people would probably settle with the 'Folk-Punk' hybrid... after considering rant n' roll, speed-folk or any other combinations. He also comes across like a musical Bill Hicks or even Lenny Bruce - in Lenny's case, he has a similar laugh to rant ratio. I've already posted his "John Lennon" song on this blog but here is one that could be the closest thing to a pop song he has ever recorded. "Don't Kill" is a message from above that is far too clever to be preachy.
