DOWNLOAD AND LISTEN: The Builders and The Butchers

Portland, Oregon’s The Builders and The Butchers, led by songwriter/vocalist Ryan Sollee have been road warriors for the past year or so, and are heading back out on tour later this month for a national tour opening for Amanda Palmer of the Dresden Dolls.

Their music is jolty, punchy, dark and oddly addictive. I have just played their song below “When it Rains” three times in a row without stopping. And I think I’ll play it again.

Check it out out there music now and keep reading for their upcoming tour dates…
