who:
dan-drums/vox | matt-guitar/vox | tom-bass/vox
what:
squalora is the result of a lifetime of anxiety attacks and moodswings;
full-on machete-core destruction composed of 3/4 the members of
ass-end offend
(imported from missoula, montana). this was a project that lasted
6+ years, endeavored numerous tours throughout the us as well
as a tour in eastern europe, and we released many records on poisoned
candy records and wantage usa. after aeo's demise, dan and matt
formed temporarily with dave parsons (from such great bands as
disgruntled nation, humpy, sasshole) to play a few shows under
the name NAZGUL before making the move out to this community
we refer to back home as "west missoula". so this is
our new concoction of heavy, fast, slow, pissed-off distortion
that is very much in the vein of aeo. we have a lp/cd coming out
soon and are in the process of booking a west coast tour for late
summer. we are dedicated to diy culture and we love playing house
shows so let's go deaf together!
how:
squalora sounds like a cross between getting stabbed in the ear
with a rusty sickle, having an aneurysm while being run over by
a gravel truck, and all your favorite hits from the 80's played
backwards, full of subliminal messages. we're talkin' spandex,
hairspray and leg warmers drenched in fucking blood from stomping
on the heads of riot cops in the streets of portland!
why:
we are a band because we share common interests, or to be more
exact, common frustrations with this sick world we're all forced
to be a part of. this music is made for the therapeutic release
that is achieved in the process. there is something comforting
about having someone scream in your face for 30 minutes. it reminds
us that not all communication needs to be made through these superficial
computer screens!
