Hew is a Houston, Texas emo band formed in 2024 by Lindsay Minton (guitar, vocals) and Mercy Harper (Bass VI) of football, etc., joined by Amador ""Moe"" Lerma (drums) and Kris Hoffman (bass).Hew leans into tension-between control and collapse, belief and doubt, past and present. The lyrics move through family fracture and the long tail of memory, where what happened and what it meant don't always line up. The writing stays inside those contradictions, turning them over rather than trying to resolve them.Hew is unmistakably an emo band, but not a revival act. The songs aren't built around referencing a specific era. With Hoffman and Lerma in the fold, the band pushes into a tighter, more deliberate sound, opening into bigger melodic hooks that set it apart from Minton and Harper's earlier work. Bass and Bass VI interlock and pull against each other, shifting between lead and low-end drive while guitars cut through in angular lines. Hew's debut LP, Your Version, is set for release on Tiny Engines in summer 2026.
