What’s this? I came here for sea shanties, what’s this new-world guitar filth? Well it’s Robbie’s side project with members of Skinny Lister and Mad Sin. Their debut self-titled EP is out now on 7” vinyl (and streaming). Check their instagram page @BEECHWOODKNIVES for where to get your mitts on one!
