The key’s in the name. Hannah VS. The Many. Not Hannah AND The Many… You wouldn’t want to be part of the "Many" Hannah Fairchild’s ferociously taking down – track by track. You know that old cliche ‘what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger’? The various obstacles that stood in Hannah’s way, be they deceitful hipsters or any other failures, sure had their part to play in building up this fierce red-headed woman who ignited Mercury Lounge’s stage last Sunday (9.2). Boy has she got fire in her. At its fastest, the sound of Hannah vs. The Many is some vindictive high-energy punk-folk with celtic undertones. As it simmers down and she sits alone at the keyboard, the room goes silent, and you can feel dramatic tension filling the air. With so far one album to their name (which doesn’t make justice to their live show), an EP set to be released in December and a follow up LP which for now is a work in progress, we should soon be hearing more from this band – stay tuned. – Tracy Mamoun
