in other news, we’re currently tracking stubby’s crack co.’s long awaited urban jungle book, slated for release in early summer. so far, it’s sounding like the record you always hoped they’d make.
Stubby’s Crack Co play jazzy, dirty, arty, bluesy, folky punk rock music. Folk as in “by and of the people,” not that other kind. Known for their craft fetish and indulgent live shows, they are simultaneously Anchorage’s most ambitious and least pretentious band. They’re also one of Anchorage’s longest running punk bands, and the contrast of these early recordings to their current work manifests the band’s evolution.
Oh, and sorry about the recording quality, my fault. Lots more where that came from.
