So who's in the band??? How did you guys come up with the name?? Heckdorlan is a two piece with my homie taylor on bass. Hes known me since i was 15. I first heard the word heckdorlan/sketchdorlan from my friends growing up. It was a word to describe something sketchy or wild. Also king of the hill homie.

How did u get into punk??? What was your 1st punk show???

I got into punk when i first moved to santa cruz. I had no privacy because i shared a room with my mom and sister. I remember i was the new kid in 5th grade and i came home in tears because i was unfamiliar with everything. My grandma had tv land on and there was the monkees playing steppin stone. Seeing mickey yell im not your steppin stone connected with me. I wanted to continue that feeling. I started a band with my homie blair that played guitar. She knew hella kids that skated that eventually became good friends to me. My first show was at the scotts valley skatepark. We actually convinced a local skateshop named cali style to have us be the band to play while they promoted their store. We were a cover band that mostly played the ramones and misfits. The first song i ever played live was hybrid moments. Terrifying as hell to lead in with drums for the first song.

Tone: What's your favorite show??? Cody:Favorite show we played is a toss up between our vs set with wacko at dannys house and our vs set with godstomper in a shed. Both sets had folks moving which was cool to see but also gotta do improv and play to each others songs. Real homie shit when you sharing the floor with kids coming at ya in every which way. 

Tone: You guys have anything releasing???

Cody: Got some splits in the works just held up at the moment due to covid. Im a sick lad so ive been isolating. Once we get things moving a split with sordo and dicksucker should be in the works. We will also be putting out our split with godstomper sometime this year.
