HiM, like the Finnish band HIM, was created in 1995. However, this, and the name, are the only similarities between the two bands.
Founded by drummer Doug Scharin, HiM is another product of the
Chicago indie rock scene. Their
music is an interesting blend of jazz, post-rock, and even reggae and African. The
music is very much unlike what a majority of what people listen to. Still, HiM is worth a listen, and those who enjoy bands such as Isotope 217 may like the band.
"Hey, I thought you said you were going to put on HIM. This doesn't sound
like them at all."
"You misunderstood, I meant HiM, the
Chicago indie band."
"Oh,
well, this is pretty good too."
