**Preview ‘There’s Someone Tryin To Get In’**

_“The symmetry between the two artists is remarkable… a refreshing track, meshing
the grit of blues with an urban thematic. This is dirty but agreeable, weaving straightforward
guitar work through the prism of a junkyard instrument approach. Goes down smooth
like a good shot of bourbon”_ ~ **Big Takeover Magazine**

have never actually met in the flesh. But they are punk soul brothers from the same
muddy musical pond. Connecting with one another during a year of ‘lockdown hell’,
their exchange of ideas and talk of musical influences inadvertently led to their
collaboration.

As innovative juices began to boil, the frenetic exchange of digital files culminated
in** **[**‘Bone Architecture’**,](https://ddec1-0-en-ctp.trendmicro.com/wis/clicktime/v1/query?url=https%3a%2f%2fharrystafford.bandcamp.com%2falbum%2fbone%2darchitecture&umid=d92414ed-175f-41e5-bfd3-88e6a93a049b&auth=65a620fa4b6e2edf0405a6ed61dc7465231096cd-91c5b5de08996dfce5fc0213161cf430158e9035)
a 12-track album that both of them had been itching to make. This superb collection
includes reworked older material, brand-new compositions and even a dirty blues 
version of the **Pink Floyd** classic **‘Arnold Layne’**. Ahead of the album, the
duo present lead single [**‘There’s Someone Tryin To Get In’**](https://ddec1-0-en-ctp.trendmicro.com/wis/clicktime/v1/query?url=https%3a%2f%2fyoutu.be%2f3kpQmI7Dy7k&umid=d92414ed-175f-41e5-bfd3-88e6a93a049b&auth=65a620fa4b6e2edf0405a6ed61dc7465231096cd-ada756f73fd82a2460a1b6e16ded098fa051dcd7)****
with video created by Stafford.

“For me, this record is a blast of energy with a cool raw groove that I have been
itching to express for a while and, with Marco Butcher, I found the perfect collaborator
to express it. His garage punk soul music, fused with jazz and swing was the tonic
I needed after the doldrums of the last year and a half. The songs we put together
fell into place like puzzle pieces in a fuzzed up sonic soundscape,” says **Harry
Stafford**.

**‘There’s Someone Tryin’ To Get In’**

Best known as founder, guitarist and vocalist of Manchester post-punk gothic rockers****
[**Inca Babies**](https://ddec1-0-en-ctp.trendmicro.com/wis/clicktime/v1/query?url=https%3a%2f%2fwww.facebook.com%2fincababies%2f&umid=d92414ed-175f-41e5-bfd3-88e6a93a049b&auth=65a620fa4b6e2edf0405a6ed61dc7465231096cd-ed89f4a61fe743fa0fe387067877e895b0fb1d9a),

reflect a cooler, less frenetic vibe, leaning on piano, trumpets and blues guitar.
All this made him the perfect collaborator to set words and lyrics to Marco’s sonic
backdrop.  

Originally from Sao Paulo, Brazil, Marco Butcher now lives in Winston Salem, North
Carolina. A prolific recording artist, he has recently released music with his various
acts: **The Jam Messengers, Chicken Snake**, and **The Jesus and The Groupies**.
Centred around the American underground of blues, jazz, rockabilly, and screaming
punk blues, he has collaborated with **Hugo Race**, as well as members of** Tex 
and the Horseheads, Pussy Galore, Gumball, The Gories, Gibson Brothers, Jerry Teel,
The Oblivians **and** The Workdogs.**

‘Bone Architecture’ is a collection of songs that is raw and, at times, an unforgiving
forage into urban punk blues with fuzzed up jazz and garage trash rock. Here, Harry
and Marco’s styles have clashed magnificently into a powerful record that crosses
a multitude of genres but with a dirty blues makeover.

“There’s something about collaborating that is pure magic to me, cause you’re not
sharing ideas at the same time and you’re in the moment. There’s something about
the not knowing what the other will bring . . the surprise factor. The fact that
music is very elastic and not always the way ya listen to it in your mind but something
else, something cooler, greater,” says **Marco Butcher**.

“I guess mutual respect has a lot to do it too, sharing the same type of ideas about
music and life… For a period of time, Inca Babies ‘This Train’ was my bandstand 
music when I was crossing a very dark and dangerous lifestyle, when I decided NOT
to die. This album was the one I listened to the most.”

Marco’s tracks were recorded at his **Boombox Studio** in Winston Salem, then shipped
by a well-known bulk file sender to Manchester, where Harry laid down vocals, piano
and any instrumental tomfoolery he saw fit at **Black Lagoon Records**. On four 
occasions, the files also flew to London for supremo trumpet player **Kevin Davy**
to lay some jazz tones into the mix. After the engineering, agonising, production
and debates, they were finally mastered by Marco.
