Despite thehellp’s aggressive cool-guy marketing — made complete with greasy hair, leather jackets, and an air of untouchability — the Los Angeles-based duo of Noah Dillon and Chandler Ransom Lucy make surprisingly heartfelt music: Amid the distorted 00’s-reminiscent electroclash of their debut album LL, songs like “Stunn” and “Caustic” chase moments of true, revelatory beauty, suggesting there’s depth to be found beyond their obscure designer jeans from Bosnia for which they’ve become more known thanks to a viral TikTok.

And though The Hellp are ostensibly dissatisfied with their public image, in conversation, they’re happy to lean on its most polarizing elements. Since coming on to the scene in 2015, the band has grown to hold a stable of strong — and perhaps unearned — opinions about the industry. Among their beliefs: music is dead; they’re the coolest band in the world; the industry hates them — but they hate the industry even more. Don’t even think about calling them “indie sleaze,” an association they’ll consider “insipid.” At best, you can say they’re just provocative, and at worst, they’re exactly what you’d expect from their pictures.

Wrapping up their year, the duo caught up with The FADER to take stock of their 2024 and share their thoughts on how they’re perceived, the commercialization of Kendrick Lamar and Drake’s rap beef, loving Brat, and the (supposed) collapse of culture.
