Anne Hutchinson has released this self-titled debut on Bad Apple Records.

A.H. is going for the metal-chaos sound, but what they succeed in producing is less chaos than it is boring. The songs lack a punch and the overall song-writing skill is nonexistent. In general, the music is very uninventive and offers very little in the way of ingenuity. The fifth song (a hidden track) in particular begins with some sort of moaning dirge that made me laugh aloud. Somehow, I can picture Anne Hutchinson playing this song while rocking out under black lights. Hopefully future releases will allow the band to take their own approach to the metal-core sound and spend time practicing their song writing.
