"One of the best Halloween sets we've ever had. Seriously. I've never seen couples dancing at a Halloween party. I did last night. You guys are chick magnets. Lets get you in the compound again soon."

- Poster Contest!
Alright ladies and gents! We're going to start a poster contest. Anyone out there interested in designing us a poster, or know someone who might be interested?? Our aim is to go out on a long tour this coming summer and we'll need a badass poster to send to all the venues. When designing this poster, try to think deranged buffalo, psychedelic native Americans, and Custer's terrified infantry men. But feel free to take it any direction your heart desires. Other things to keep in mind are: we are from Montana and want to represent hard, we rock hard, Montana is badass, We are a two man rock band, and Montana is badass.
Please pass this info on to anyone you think might be interested. We are not sure what the prize will be yet, but we think it will have to do with beer and cigarettes. The winner will also get their name somewhere on the poster, which will be seen in other states, and we will do our best to heavily promote the artist and their work. Hit us up with any questions. Alright everyone, Rock and Roll!

But that's what rock and roll confessionals are for. Along with drummer Abe Jindrich, the guitarist and songwriter for Missoula's The BoxCutters lays it all out there in a new album titled The Evil in Young Men. "I've been trying to think of a way to explain it," says Birkenbuel, "but that's pretty much what these songs are: growing up and suffering from heartache and causing heartbreak and all the evil things you do in between to pass the time."

- Box Cutting at the Top Hat
- Though the dance floor started empty, by the end of the show many of the bar’s patrons had jammed their way to center stage. The band’s sound, powered by Bill Birkenbuel’s throaty, yelled vocals and lead guitar along with Abe Jindrich’s driving drums, ranges from blues rock to garage rock... [Read More...]
- All You Need Is Two
- The diversity of songs from something so simple — just a voice, a guitar and a drum set — is a testament to the talent and passion guitarist/singer Bill Birkenbuel and drummer Abe Jindrich bring to their shows... [Read More...]
