Uncle Pooch: Experimetal - instrumental/metal/jazz.


With a name taken from a morally questionable character in a David Lynch film, one might say that Uncle Pooch is a little twisted. This eccentric quartet has been described as Slayer meets Pharoah Sanders' evil twin. They turn heavy, sludgy grooves into quick-fingered riffs while disturbing melodies and noise scar your psyche. This blatant disregard for normalcy is what they've dubbed instrumental/metal/jazz or, "Experi-Metal".

The Seattle based group was founded by guitarist Tony Stevens and bassist Shane Smith in 2007. Filling out the roster is avant-garde saxophonist Greg Sinibaldi (Frieze of Life) wielding the Electronic Wind Instrument, and drummer Denali Williams (Staxx Brothers).

After signing a non-exclusive deal with internet label Magnatune, Uncle Pooch released its debut album "Conduct Unbecoming". The full-length album includes guest appearances by vocalist Kimo Muraki (17th Chapter) and guitarist RL Heyer (RL Heyer Trio, Flowmotion). It features the Naked City-esque track "Assault and Battery Acid", the epic middle-eastern slammer, "Fallujah" and the bone-crushing "Shame Spiral" which in the end is swallowed by a swamp of feedback and thousands of strange little critters.
