alaskan black metal hailing from a fairview basement
Critically lauded Portland, Oregon transplants The Builders and the Butchers bring their energetic revivalist show home to Alaska for four dates this month. They’ll be supported by some of Alaska’s finest acoustic country folk punk.
I don’t have a lot of time, so I’ll say this: If you don’t go to one of these shows you risk being out of touch. Seriously. I’d better see both of the readers of this blog there.

Here’s a classic solo track from Ryan Sollee, charismatic The Builders and The Butchers/The Born Losers frontman. The song is tagged 2003, but the recording might predate this by a year or two. This song demonstrates the tounge-in-cheek-yet-sincere motif that characterized much of Sollee’s early work, before the darker, somber Butchers vibe developed.

A live demo of a new Hug-A-Mutha song, recorded in the Carlot basement during the Bearing Gruesome Cargo sessions. Mixed by Adam. Hug-A-Mutha is now on geographical sabbatical, but we’ll do our best. We still have Discography CDs, $5 tiny dollars.
The Bearing Gruesome Cargo EP needs some vocals and then it’s officially ready to grind you into catatonia. Also, word has it that the Stubby’s album has come back from the mastering studio…
