The honey moon is over, the bloom has gone off, the love has left and now there’s just a life time’s worth of grinding monotony to look forward to. Crashed America has been out for (just about) a month now and I’m glad to say the reception has been fairly […]
Never let it be said that I don’t try to broaden peoples horizons and open new cultural vistas… KAMP Livestock Cattlerap Sessions 2014 – Rhett Parks from studiokamp on Vimeo. And if that doesn’t make you want some Crashed America then you’re a soul less scumbag.

Rumour has it that the ancient Celts predicted that the end of the world would come on May 1st 2014 – they were at least part right. Momentous things are a’coming; times they are’a changing, a bad moon is rising, God’s gonna cut you down, the Devil really has gone […]
