PRESSING INFORMATION
+ BLACK 12" VINYL
The duo of real-life barbers, the Sweeney Todd of Rock – Jason Cutthroat (vocals, guitar) and Donny Paycheck (drums) – carve up a bloody, ballsy and brash brand of rock ‘n’ roll that – not unlike their medieval counterparts – takes no prisoners. They are wearing bloodspattered white smocks for live shows and they’re as handy with a straight razor as they are with garage rock.
"The classic imagery of what a barber is correlates so well to the music," says Donny. "We keep it straightforward and as sharp as possible." "It’s a little creepy and weird," Jason adds. "But it’s a lot of fun and ties into what we do every day."
"The sinewy slide guitars sound as if they’re powered by gasoline, and the measures lubed with motor oil… wouldn’t sound out of place in the next Quentin Tarantino film." the North Coast Voice describes their sound.
For their second album "Taste For Evil" the Sweeney Todd of Rock – Jason Cutthroat and Donny Paycheck called on a legend – Mike Watt. Unfortunately, the bass tracks got lost in the mail and didn't show up until after the album was released. On "The King is Dead" the album can be heard in its entirety for the first time. With his distinctive, equally elegant and dynamic-powerful playing, Mike Watt not only supports the band, but also makes the sound denser. Jack Endino remixed and mastered the album. They’ve captured a sound that is at once diabolical and alluring. It couldn’t have come from anywhere but the Northwest. None other than Raymond Pettibon could be won for the artwork, who was already responsible for the artwork of Black Flag.
Release Date: 12 June 2021
