Hail Social was a rock band from Philadelphia.

The band released several self-made EPs at their concerts, sometimes referred to by color. In April, 2005, Dine Alone Productions pressed Hail Social's first 7-inch, a limited edition single release. Their debut self-titled album was released by Polyvinyl Records in August, 2005, and their Warning Sign 7-inch came out in March, 2006, also on Polyvinyl. Their second album titled Modern Love & Death was self-released on March 20, 2007.

As of June 18, 2009, the band stated that they were "no longer an active band and has not been for years now." Founder Dayve Hawk now records original electronic music and remixes as Memory Tapes.

Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

A short description can identify a subject without explaining its stakes. For “Hail Social”, the useful work is to connect “uS musical group” to the records capable of establishing context and consequence.

Evidence profile

The citation trail is more important than the brevity of the summary: it shows where individual claims can be examined in context. The source revision retrieved here is dated Oct 26, 2025. The linked authority identifier is Q5639195. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2005, 2006, 2007 and 2004.

Critical limits

Overview language is designed for orientation and should not be treated as a substitute for the evidence cited beneath it. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.

How to read it

Use the entry as an orientation point, then follow its citations and revision history. Names, dates and institutional relationships should be checked against the original record.
