Sounds Likea cross between getting stabbed in the ear with a rusty sickle, having an aneurysm while being run over by a gravel truck, and all your favorite hits from the 80's played backwards, full of subliminal messages. we're talkin' spandex, hairspray and leg warmers drenched in fucking blood from stomping on the heads of riot cops in the streets of portland!

   About SQUALORA


SQUALORA is the result of a lifetime of anxiety attacks and moodswings; full-on machete-core destruction composed of 3/4 the members of ASS-END OFFEND (imported from Missoula, Montana). This was a project that lasted 6+ years, endeavored numerous tours throughout the us as well as a tour in Eastern Europe, and we released many records on POISONED CANDY RECORDS and WANTAGE USA. After AEO's demise, Dan and Matt formed temporarily with Dave Parsons (from such great bands as Disgruntled Nation, Humpy, Sasshole) to play a few shows under the name NAZGUL before making the move out to this community we refer to back home as "West Missoula". So this is our new concoction of heavy, fast, slow, pissed-off distortion that is very much in the vein of AEO. We have a LP/CD out now on DEFECTOR RECORDS, WANTAGE USA & REPETITIVELY FUTILE RECORDS. We are a band because we share common interests, or to be more exact, common frustrations with this sick world we're all forced to be a part of. This music is made for the therapeutic release that is achieved in the process. There is something comforting about having someone scream in your face for 30 minutes. It reminds us that not all communication needs to be made through these superficial computer screens! We are dedicated to D.I.Y. culture and we love playing house shows so let's go deaf together!

Squalora Communique No. 1 (Click here)


"Rainy ol' Portland has had a Swedishifying effect on these transplanted Ass End Offenders and friends. Squalora comes belting out of the gates with all the fury of No Security or Abuse or Mob 47 or Anti-Cimex or any of those svensk hardcore legends. Pissed, blazing fast and heavy as Pig Champion (RIP) standing on your penis." -Total Fest Programme, WANTAGE USA

"Squalora plays metallic hardcore, but adds some cool experimentation into the mix. There are some long, slow moody parts that stand out, and then this rips into total thrash mayhem. Vocals are rage." -Erin Yanke, Maximum Rock N Roll.
