+ According to the very credible UrbanDictionary.com, "buckwild" is when "you are incredibly crunk and hyper. You cannot be controlled because you are unleashing the beast." (Example presented: "after i anilated the other teams quarterback for a sack i was getting buckwild (sic)." It also means "a level of activity that results with those engaged in the activity end up on the ground (sic)." (Example given, "Shit dude! Look at Nick! He's going buckwild!") Both are dead-on perfect to describe Portland's wonderful-as-hell one-man-destructo-project SCARD. Dude's got range, running from barely audible ambient drones to sand-blastin' Swans-ish noise and menacing black metal. Like just when you think you're in for this sweet, mellow, rumble-scape, they totally go buckwild with the blasting pain and death and you're like, "Help! Mommy! I'm bein' eaten alive by ants here!" But you're not really; you're just having a killer time getting bumrushed by one of Portland's darkest knights (one Mr. Jared Huston, the main man behind this.) Definitely stick around for Vancouver's Blowupnihilist, purveyors of screamy goodness. GRANT MORRIS - Portland Mercury
+ This is how smooth sipping goat's blood can be. Ritual, black, funeral industrial not hailing from Sweden but, Portland Oregon. The infernal, cold-meat evoking brutal electronics SCARD with the summoning screams of Winter 2006 make incantation all but certain. The 4th track (recorded live in Seattle) is the dimmest and most epic piece. great show!!! For those of us who worship MZ412, this is communion. - m - Methamphedazine
+ SCARD (Portland) cultivates a barbaric approach to his solo vocal project, using electronics to elevate his roars and howls beyond the capacity of their organic sources. - Noah Mickens

As many of you know, I'm leaving for Tuva on the 16th of June to further my studies in Khoomei (Tuvan throat singing) as well as compete in the International Khoomei Symposium in late July. I've worked tirelessly for almost 6 months straight to raise $10,000 to fund this climactic life endeavour.
