A little over a year ago it was announced that, while not playing Rev25, Las Vegas-based hardcore band Curl Up and Die would be reuniting after 7 years. While that reunion has yet to materialize there is some news from the CUAD camp today. Thrice drummer Riley Breckenridge announced that he has started a baseball-themed grindcore band called Puig Destroyer with CUAD vocalist Mike Minnick and they’ll be releasing an EP soon.
Breckenridge says:
“Puig Destroyer is actually happening. It’s a baseball-themed grindcore project featuring Mike Minnick (Curl Up & Die) on vocals, Ian Miller and Jon Howell (Kowloon Walled City) and me (Riley Breckenridge – Thrice) doing drum programming (because logistics and gah … blastbeats at 220 bpm).
“We’ve got basic tracking done for our debut EP, and we should have a track from said EP fairly soon. Please stay tuned for updates/tunes. The roughs I’ve heard are ridiculously awesome and fun and raw as all hell.
“Kinda like Yasiel Puig.
“We’re all very excited and hope that you are too.”
Update: You can check out the first song, “One Man, Five Tools,” here:
