HHead

HHead

hHead were a Canadian alternative rock band in the 1990s. The band consisted of Noah Mintz, Brendan Canning and a succession of drummers. They were originally known as "Head", but added the second "h" after discovering that another band was already recording as Head.

The band's first album, "Fireman", was released independently in 1992. It became popular on Canadian campus radio, and the band landed a contract with IRS Records in 1994, releasing their second album, "Jerk", that year. However, IRS Records was at this point in financial trouble, and the band was not well-promoted. The band then moved to the Canadian independent label Handsome Boy Records for their final album, "Ozzy".

The band broke up in 1997.First, Mintz left, then Canning, leaving only the drummer, Jason Ray (who was going to be the bands permanent drummer ).

Mintz is now a mastering engineer for artists such as Hayden and The Dears, and has recorded solo material as Noah's Arkweld. Canning joined By Divine Right for that band's third album "Bless This Mess", and then formed Broken Social Scene with Kevin Drew. Broken Social Scene's album "Bee Hives" includes a song titled "hHallmark", alluding to the unique typography of hHead's name.
