Cryptophaser - XXII

With the return of Bandcamp Friday, my brother John and I would like to share our debut release as Cryptophaser. Inspired equally by Black Sabbath and Black Flag, this new project is a blast of fuzzed out rock with a dash of wavy synths. We've played in many bands together over the past 20+ years, but this is the first time we've fully embraced being twins and created everything ourselves (including the cheeky video below).

Available now on cassette and digital, coming to streaming platforms on 2.22.22. Thanks for listening!

Flying Vipers - Nervous Breakdub

On the 40th anniversary of its initial release, Flying Vipers pay tribute to the debut EP by hardcore/punk pioneers Black Flag. Their first 7" record, Nervous Breakdown, introduces the original line-up with 4 songs in 5 minutes. We've put our own spin on this iconic set, arranged as a single track, stripped down to bare bones drums & bass, and drenched with reverb and analog effects. Recorded and mixed direct to cassette tape over the span of a few hours.

Big thanks to our resident Viper artist, Big Boots MD, for reinterpreting the classic Raymond Pettibon illustration. More music – including our first full-length – coming later this year.
