CUTTHECRAP
Low budget - No bullshit!
CUTTHECRAP is all about independent recording. CUTTHECRAP has gained a considerable reputation as being one of the few sources to generate real underground music. Its distinctive sound is not for delicate ears! My records speak for themselves. They are a testament to truly independent thought. If you think that what you're doing is original enough, then step on up.
This is what I do. To know more, go with the crowd!
