HCA was created by boyhood friends Terry and Chris. What started out as a fun joke band would wind up doing what everyone around them said was impossible. HCA is extremely driven and sets sights on taking it as far as they can, so long as there are people out there that want to hear the band; and over the years that number has increased much to their surprise. HCA lost original drummer Caleb Shannon to liver disease and was never forgotten. Mark Fleener stayed with the band up until 2001 when he decided to go back to school and finish a radiology degree. Chris Prather moved to Cocoa, Fl. and started the Green Goblyn Project. Chris is still an active member when he is not obligated to his band; Jamie Fritching moved to New York. HCA has had the pleasure of touring with, and befriending many great bands over the years, including many of our influences like the Subhumans, Bad Religion, Circle Jerks, NOFX and others; both on our own tours and and a few stints on the Vans Warped tour. For this we are grateful, and happy we can continue doing it. And we also believe in respecting and paying tribute to those who came before us and made it possible to do what we do; Bands like Belching Penguin, NO Fraud, Questionable cause, Pink Lincolns, and other local bands from our scene that paved the way, we are forever grateful. We decided to just give some highlights of HCA's past and some of the low points. Anyone who wants to know more can just ask us, in the meantime we ask people to listen to the music which has stood the test of the times, and the new tunes that come out and judge for themselves. Use your own minds and break those fucking boundaries that people put up out there. Have fun and enjoy life, thats what HCA is and always will be about. And as always, to those over the years and who currently support us, we love you so much and we know we would be shit without you. We are looking forward to meeting you all on tour. We do our best to respond to all the mail we get but sometimes it takes awhile, so please be patient. Thank you all. HCA
