Hammok Sign to Sargent House, Unveil June 5 LP 'When Does This Place Become Our Scene'

Lead single The Scene arrives with a Christoffer Bya–directed video, introducing themes of community, hardcore lineage, online-era isolation.

Overview

  • Oslo trio Hammok — Tobias Osland, Ferdinand Aasheim, and Ole Benjamin Thomassen — follow a 2022 EP and a 2024 debut full-length with their second album.
  • When Does This Place Become Our Scene was produced entirely by vocalist and guitarist Tobias Osland.
  • The Scene serves as the opener and de facto title track, with a video that places the band outdoors on a clear plexiglass surface.
  • The album features 12 tracks, including The Scene, Semi-Automatic Machines, and When the Kids Are Too Old to Cause a Scene.
  • Osland says The Scene took shape during European touring, inspired by meeting people devoted to their local communities, with pre-orders now available.
