The Builders and The Butchers shares new single “West Virginia” & announces first 2022 Tour Dates
The Builders and the Butchers were formed in the fall of 2005 in Portland, Oregon. The band’s first two years consisted of busking, playing house shows, and showing up unannounced anywhere around Portland where people were gathered. Folks began to take notice and the band transitioned slowly, going from playing on the floor of venues unplugged to gradually adding a mic here, an amp there, until they organically grew into one of the most exciting live acts in the Pacific Northwest. Even when plugged in, a cornerstone of almost every builders show is playing on the floor at some point during the set.
CDSM Announce EP + Share Lead Single “GFH” on Mothland, ‘Hell Stairs’ Out April 29
As the sun sets on an ever-heating planet, strange synthesizers converse in the distance, punctured by disco rhythms and interjected by saxophone growls, akin to a jukebox of divine sadistic temptations, oozing goth rock-esque melodies that forever haunt you… You have just been exposed to the groovy sonic onslaught of CSDM a.k.a. Celebrity Death Slot Machine, a collective based in Atlanta, Georgia that features current and former members of alternative outfits: Material Girls, Neighbor Lady, Mothers and Rose Hotel.

BOX Reveals New Single And Video For “Succumb”
Preparing to unleash their new album, Cherry Blossoms at Night, on July 29th, BOX has released the first taste of the album “Succumb.”
The band comments: “Succumb is an anti-homage to the all-knowing musical overseers that instruct listeners to not travel certain paths as if the overseer’s musical endeavors and life experiences grant them unyielding esoteric intellect. box believes that the only true path is beneath the dirt we walk on and the legacies we leave above, good, bad, or none.”
Shrouded in mystique and driven by the invigorating power of low notes, with an album title referring to one of the chief ideas of the notable psychoanalyst Carl Gustav Jung, the outfit from Iowa presents a wild, riff-laden journey through the desolate wastelands of the subconscious. Combining the sonic prowess of Mastodon with the psychedelic heaviness of OM, DRUIDS serves their grooves with a distinctly forward-thinking attitude, taking their witchy brand of psychedelic sludge metal to a new level of sophistication.
