Hessler released their debut EP ‘Bad Blood’ in April of 2011 and Sleaze Roxx reviewed the album shortly after. The review of the album stated, “There is a certain low-budget charm to the band’s debut ‘Bad Blood’, not so much in sound quality, but in the way they deliver their songs — it keeps reminding me of what Leather Leone and Bitch tackled during the ’80s metal uprising.”
