Hate Farm

Hate Farm

Band overview

Hate Farm was a crust punk band from Oklahoma City, Oklahoma that existed only a very short period in the early nineties (the beginning of 1993 to be exact). The band is notable as it stood out as the very first crust band in the Oklahoma City area, a town plagued with neo-nazi skinheads. The members of Hate Farm were outspoken in their anti-racist beliefs and they rallied many to combat the menace, which today is almost non-existent. Their touring status also helped to shine a light on the burgeoning punk scene of OKC. The band was created when Staunch (1991 through 1993), and Misanthropic, decided to merge to create a more viable group interested in touring.

The line-up of Hate Farm existed of singers; Drunk Rock John (founder of Aurora, Illinois band P.E.N., who still tour today), Genevieve Stevens, and Chris Stanberry. The guitarists were John Hutto (lead), Wendy Stott (rhythm), and Scott Brashears (bass), Owen Greenwood played drums. One of the more fascinating aspects of Hate Farm was the disparity in ages, ranging from fifteen years old to twenty eight, in effect causing them to cull from far-ranging influences within the punk rock scene. British big bands such as Crass or Conflict (band) are a couple of the more obvious models, as is the American bands Blatz (band) and Filth (band). Paul's Valley spawned Subsanity, a decidedly metal act, would have been considered Hate Farm's sister band and the two groups exchanged musical information enabling all involved to grow deeper roots into grindcore and helping to further the crust scene in Oklahoma.

Hate Farm embarked on a disastrous tour of the west coast that resulted in monetary losses nearing the five digit range. This, in turn with personality clashes, was responsible for the group's dissolution upon returning to Oklahoma. Several members went on to form The Boxcar Children (band). The name Hate Farm derives from Brashears' and Stanberry's original group Hate Party U.S.A. who played a handful of shows and sold several hundred t-shirts.
