I'd like to offer our deepest condolences to the family and friends of former Destroilet frontman Mike Hull, who passed away yesterday, as per numerous postings on Facebook. Any extra details on arrangements are not visibly out yet, we will let you know more when available & appropriate. SMS readers will best know Mike from his work with Destroilet from their 2009 inception through to their final set at the Joni Radford memorial concert at The Rockstar Bar in March 2019, with Mike featuring on their three CD releases along the way. Details on Mike's local music work before Destroilet is not in high quantities online, but he was always a lively presence on stage in Destroilet's early-mid 2010s heyday! I remember that he was always hard to get photos of in concert, owing to his stage presence and constant motion that was tailor made for hardcore punk. I do wish that they turned up his microphone live more though.
Off stage, Mike was a good guy and a proud father, and he was always kind to me when we interacted at shows. Losing him at this time of year sucks, especially with Christmas less than a month away, so our thoughts are absolutely with his family right now, and we will let you know more on services or possible tributes when they go public. R.I.P. Mike!
