Label: Dead Broke

Reissued 11/21/2025, Originally released 1997

Been keeping this one under wraps for a bit now, but we are so excited to announce a remastered reissue of Hellbender's final album & mangum opus, 1997's "Con Limón". Hellbender was a punk rock band from Carrboro, North Carolina. Existing roughly for only about 6 years, they released 3 full lengths, numerous singles & split 7"s, and spent a good amount of that time on the road. Comprised of members Al Burian (MILEMARKER & Burn Collector zine), Harrison Haynes (LES SAVY FAV) & Wells Tower (American author) "Con Limón" was a far departure from their previous albums, melding various styles of indie & punk to make a batch of songs that were unknowingly years ahead of their time. Recorded by Alap Momin & originally on New York's, Reservoir Records. Remastered from the original unmastered DAT mixes by Carl Sa to bring a whole new life to this lost east coast cult classic. If you know, you know. If not- it's time to get on board with one of the best kept secrets of 1990's punk. Limited to 300 copies.
