Ever wonder why the kids of today turn out to be such assholes? Perhaps if beating them weren't illegal they would learn how to fear and respect. Not all kids are bad, granted. But geez.

Darren PhlegmingBand/artist history
Doug picked up the bass at the age of 21. Within months he played in his first band covering songs from The Ramones, Green Day, Nirvana and the Pixies. That gig never really made it out of the basement.
After a few years of wandering around in punk rock purgatory Doug landed a spot with Hamilton's Vapids when J.T. got the royal hoof. That gig lasted all of nine months before he quit due to mental and emotional stress with his personal life.
Seeking a change in scenery Doug moved from Hamilton to Ottawa in '98. About a year later he joined a band called "Grave NewWorld". He was immediately dismissed after their first show for his unconventional stage ethics.
Realizing it was nearly impossible to survive in a band, Doug picked up an acoustic and began to formulate dark, brooding Homicide Folk music. A blend of muddy chords and poor vocals attribute to his legendary sound.
After about two years of songwriting Doug found himself in yet another band. In the summer of 2001 Doug landed a job making futons. New Morning Futon was the store Doug met Berger and Pretty Polly. The three of them fromed an indie-post grunge band called "The Nerve Ends". They played about three shows within the better part of the year and only managed to get through their set in two of them.
Doug found himself back in Hamilton in the fall of 2002 after multiple deaths in the family. It was there he met his soulmate, Michele Robinson.
Doug now lives in Pickering, Ontario. He continues to record and produce his own albums.Have you performed in front of an audience?If I knew how to sing.

this is my favorite Doug Hell song, EVER.... so far...
This song hits home for anybody who has faced and survived reality out of the box. It made me remember back to the days that I thought would never end. It's brutaly honest in it's own way.
After a first listen it joined the roster of songs I listen to when I want to refect and remember.
Thanks Doug, you just made the ranks with the "Red Hot Chilly Peppers" with their song, "Slide".
