In the spring of 2007, we arose to bring the ethics of riot grrrl and anarchisM to the Portland metal scene. Born of longstanding friendships and prior music projects, Cull first came together when Dylan, Melissa, and Jacqui joined forces and started writing. Once songs began to take form, Dylan enlisted his younger brother, Ansel - not only filling out our sound, but also solidifying the close-knit, family-like dynamic of the band
Having discarded the macho posturing typically associated with metal, we work to actively create community and space for women in heavy music.
We travel in a herd - please help us support our friends and continue to grow our scene into a whole world of kickass by signing up for the Empire on Fire mailing list here.
ONWARD TO TOTAL DESTROY!!!!

I work till 11:00, this is seriously your only October show? Fuck, that sucks, but hey maybe we can get once set up to play together soon here. Hope tomorrow night goes well, I'm trying to find a job where the schedule is a little less shitty so I don't have to miss everything.
are y'all truly playing first? if so i think i can make it out, but if you will be rocking into the weeeee hours of the morning i think i'm going to have to stay home and be a loser because of early morning work nonsense.
