The Stranger
Hardly Art will be releasing the next record from Seattle’s Unnatural Helpers. After harboring a secret crush on the Helpers for countless months, they have finally popped the big question (“Wanna do a record?”) and they said yes! The Unnatural Helpers are one of Seattle’s finest punk bands, the brain child of drummer/singer Dean Whitmore. The current incarnation includes Kimberly Morrison (Duchess & the Duke) on bass, and Brian Standeford (Idle Times, Catheters, Tall Birds) and Leo Gephardt (Catheters, Tall Birds) on guitars.
