Freighter forges rock and roll on the heavy metal anvil. They are “a trio that knows how to play with metal structures of the past while injecting a contemporary intensity to them. Progressive a-tonal riffs conjoined with plodding, pummeling or explosive beats while hoisting a flair for noisy experimental fringe offerings treated with harsh angst ridden vocals.” (Andrew Frey of Maximum Ink) Scene Point Blank describes the United Sons of Toil as “…a more aggressive Unwound, giving a sort of mathy post-punk vibe with some hints of chaos thanks to a seemingly heavy influence from the Touch and Go noise-rock movement. Guitarist Russell Hall wields distortion like Neil Young gone post-hardcore.” In 2008 El Valiente was voted best new band by Isthmus readers. “El Valiente lurk and charge through spaces as broad and bleak as the Grand Canyon. The group’s guitar, glockenspiel, bass, and drums prove boldest when drifting off into a skeletal void between slowcore, spaghetti western, and free jazz.” (The Onion A.V. Club)

Finally, a website that was not made (shoddily) in notepad! Bear with me for a little while as we get this thing dialed in all the way, but we have some cool shit in store.
