As humans are creatures of habit, in playing this song, HIRETH brought themselves closer to the audience and now had the entire room \u201cbought in\u201d to their performance.<\/p>\n<p>Lead singer Cooper then asked for a relationship, location, and conflict which the crowd supplied, respectively: a grandma and grandson, Delaware, and broken down car. Together the band freestyled a hilarious tune about grandma\u2019s car and the need to \u201cGet out of Delaware,\u201d leaving everyone in the room laughing and jamming by its conclusion.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_62293\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-62293\" style=\"width: 308px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-62293\" src=\"http:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/Lead-1600x900-300x169.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"308\" height=\"174\" srcset=\"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/Lead-1600x900-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/Lead-1600x900-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/Lead-1600x900-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/Lead-1600x900.jpg 1400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 308px) 100vw, 308px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-62293\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">photo by Dakota Behrman<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>HIRETH features strong guitar riffs and bass lines, that are percussively driven by drummer Quinn, lending much foot tapping and head bobbing from the crowd as they continued to play their original works.
