Scissor Press is very happy to be releasing a super-limited edition CD by one of our longtime writers and friends, Raegan Butcher. The CD is a collection of 10 tracks performed by Raegan on vocals between 1986 and 1992 with his band, Pale & Skinny. The band features a rotating cast of members, of which Raegan is the sole performer to appear on all 10 tracks.

Pale & Skinny called the Olympia/Seattle region home for nearly a decade before disbanding. The recordings are old and a bit lo-fi, but the energy and talent of the band are undeniable. Not to mention, these are some catchy tunes; post-hardcore, pre-grunge sounds from a time and place that can never be replicated.

The tracklisting includes eight original songs, plus one live bonus version of the first track ("Bone Yard"), and an incredible live cover of Husker Du's "Data Control."

We are only pressing 200 copies. The CD costs $11.00 postage paid, and if you'd like to order a copy of RAEGAN BUTCHER: Pale & Skinny 1986 - 1992, please visit the Scissor Press Online Store to pay with a credit card or Paypal.
