Giant Squid, and Whitehorse in Arcata July 1st. Whitehorse, crusty doom from Australia on 20 Buck Spin records. Known in their native Australia as the country's most prominent underground doom band, Whitehorse are now poised to make their worldwide debut for 20 Buck Spin with their self-titled CD. Collecting brand new studio material, along with tracks from their limited edition LP from the Conspiracy Records 10th anniversary series and other short-run releases. Already well-known throughout the land, yet only now making their official debut, Whitehorse is set to destroy doom for good in 2007

Giant Squid, prog metal from Sacto on The End Records. Massively heavy, yet delicately beautiful, Giant Squid makes brutally honest and sincere music that no one genre will be able to claim it for its own. A formidable beast like its namesake, Giant Squid wields immaculate tone, inspirational songwriting, and organic, yet fierce walls of melody. Active Members: Aaron Gregory (guitar, vocals), Bryan Beeson (bass), Jackie Perez Gratz (vocals, cello)
Scott Sutton (drums) :
