Since Doin' The Dirt's release, fans have been folking up their garages to the musical music of Skribe. "A lot of our songs on this album started out with a vocal melody lathered on a beatup thrift store acoustic guitar riff, when you add drums, electric crossbow, a room of people & some whiskey...the volume usually makes it's way up to 11." The DIY approach allowed the band to experiment with recording bowed guitar, microwave, party gourds & even angry neighbors. "We wanted to make a record that you'd initially want to blow out your speakers to & on headphones later on, hear a new realm of sounds within each song. I think ears can adjust to volume like the way eyes adjust to light, & when you brush the dirt around you uncover the fossils of an acoustic folk song."
Thanks for listening! |

You can hear more soul in one line from Skribe than many mainstream artists can muster in an entire career. More than any artist on the album, Skribe knows exactly how his voice and guitar are meant to fit together.
