Perfect Buzz

Mess Around is out! Check YouTube and Bandcamp. The video ain’t gonna win us any VMAs but proud of what we accomplished quickly with a phone and rudimentary iMovie skills. Pre-order the Happy Trails EP too - out digitally on Dec 12 and vinyl in mid-Jan. Link in bio #messaround #happytrails #perfectbuzz

Thought this reel got posted weeks ago when we released this, but I just found it stuck in drafts. Social media marketing experts we are not! Is it garage-punk? Post-punk? Prog-grunge? Sure! Find the full song at the bandcamp link in bio and categorize it however you want. More music coming but life has gotten in the way. Stay tuned!

This review at The Obelisk somehow slipped through our Google alerts! Belated thanks @jjkoczan for giving our EP a listen and writing kind words. Seeing @mudhoney_ with Three Stoned Men at the Berkeley Square in the early 90s was a watershed moment in this dude's musical development so I appreciate the reference! #post-grunge-punk

Thanks @razorcake_zine and Chris Terry for the review!

Hey all - It’s been too long! The Buzz has been taking a break from the socials because we generally have a distaste for these platforms which show us way more posts we don’t care about than those we do. And I was exhausted from posting almost every day to lead up to our EP release in January. AND we haven’t played any shows since January so not much to share. But I’m going to try to be better about staying in touch until my next burnout so here ya go! Our Happy Trails EP is still something we’d love you to check out so check it out! Link in bio. There have been some great reviews we have failed to share but I’m gonna start posting em soon. We’ve all been busy with other projects. Wes is playing drums with @super.taken who just had their debut show last weekend. Luke is back with @tiger_touch_pdx - stay tuned to hear about a return show soon. And Patrick aka Petey (me) plays bass with @amybeth.and.theecreeps and we just got back from an amazing tour de France. We’ve been working on a bunch of new stuff and will have some new songs at our upcoming shows this summer. Next one is June 12 at @azothspace with our friends @classmplanets . See you in the mosh pit? Here’s an unrelated pic from last summer at the FFMC clubhouse when one of our fans was saved from imminent peril. 📸 by @alexfastpdx #daswassup

@turnturnturnpdx !! We thought we lost our chance to ever play here again so very excited this is happening. Finally playing with @somethingaintrights after lots of talking about it. And TINA! Old friends and the longest running Portland band you may not have heard of. Gonna be a great night!

We’re grateful that several of our favorite shops now stocking Happy Trails. Support local! @specksrecords @2ndaverecords @creaturesclosetpdx @landfillrescueunit @tomorrowrecordspdx @everydaymusicburnside Still more shops to visit - we’ll let you know when others start carrying it.
