Hello. My name is Logan Butler. I am in charge of Frail Walls Productions. I also make music under the name of Wolverine Carcass, as well as being a member of Apocolyptic Youth, Wicked King Wicker, and Briglia,ButlerSchoonmaker,Williams. I set up this blog a while ago, and really haven't done anything with it, but I have decided that this will be the official Frail Walls info page. Hell, I may provide links for downloads here to, since that's the cool thing to do nowadays.
For this first post I will be providing some good news. As I type this, I have 2 lathes being cut as we speak. The first would be Frail Walls #2 (which is a split release with Dirgehead Distro) and it's the Briglia,Butler,Schoonmaker,Williams/Reaching. split 7". It's going to be limited to 40 hand numbered copies of clear 45 RPM goodness. BBSW's side is a noisy blast then a slow/fast black metal/grind track. Reaching.'s side is one all to short power electronics wall. Should be killer, with sweet silver on black artwork.
In addition to that great news, Frail Walls #3, the other lathe being cut, is a split release with Connecticut's legendary(?) TPOS label (the same label that has released records by GG Allin, Antiseen, Thor, and many more). This one is a split between Ultrabunny and the Wolverine Carcass. Ultrabunny, for those of you out of the loop, is the re-imagining of the Bunny Brains, a noisy improvisational punk group. For more info on the Bunny Brains, I suggest you pick up the 4xCD box on Narnack Records. What you do need to know is they were extremely challenging and prolific, never playing the same song twice. Ultrabunny continues in that tradition, but employing the stripped down approach of 3 members (at least every time I've seen them play live). They improvise pretty much everything and record everytime they play out, releasing super limited live CDs of just about ever show. Their sound is equal parts Hawkwind and Flipper, with a peppering of bands like The White Mice or Pissed Jeans. Their side of this 7" is a cut from a live set, super aggressive and psychedelic, in one word: schizophrenic, but in the best way possible. The Wolverine Carcass side is 2 heaping slabs of noise. One cut is the first track recorded under the guise of Wolverine Carcass in which the name for this label came from, "Frail Walls". It's a low end synth, cut up distortion kinda industrial blast that Prurient puts out nowadays. The second cut is the latest (at the time the master was sent out) track from WC, 10 seconds of noise manipulated and chopped up and re-distorted over and over, then vocals are provided by the greatest pro-wrestler of all time, Ric Flair. I won't get any further into in than that, let me just say it must be heard to be believed.
I expect the lathes to be here any day now, and the covers soon after. I guess just check back here for more info.
Also I will upload some of my old bands stuff for people to enjoy, as well as OOP Wolverine Carcass and Apocolyptic Youth stuff.
See ya.
