ALASKAS
alaskas thumb
A one man "aggressive post-grime tribal punk" recalling Campfire Songs-era Animal Collective, the rhythmic curiosity of Black Dice and the free-range vocals of Sunburned Hand of Man. Layering harmonies, guitar, and searing feedback, the ALASKAS experience is intense.

CUT***LOOSE
boss level thumb
"People keep asking, 'why the asterisks, Cut***Loose?' We needed something to separate the words, people out there keep writing our name as one word and we can't have that. The aesthetic is pleasing to us as well." Totally brutal, experimental thrash for fans of Das Oath, early HEALTH. RIP, April 2009.

TACOCAT
TacocaT thumb
Seattle pop punkers TacocaT are a poppy 21st century Huggy Bear meets Bikini Kill with none of the politics involved. They'll sing about peeps, volcanoes, HPV, and leaky basements. It doesn't get much more fun than this!

Minimalist, experimental punk from Seattle's trio of two ex-members of Cut***Loose and local artist Jamey Braden. Freaky, rhythmic, songs with heavily effected guitar for fans of Aids Wolf, Ponytail, and The Mae Shi.
