New band ButcherBird has an EP out on May 30 via Drowning Sea God Records, Drought/Deluge.

The label calls the band "extreme, proggy and punky with noises from pedals that the band's guitarist built himself." It's a fair description, though we've personally lean on the hard and heavy elements in our own description. The band play hardcore ewith varied metal influences. Members have also played in Delaire The Liar and Meridian Sun.
