_“Unapologetically weaving their way through varied genres, Stafford & Butcher’s
bluesy story-based music is raw around the edges, while sucking you willingly inside–
a sonic diamond in the rough, so to speak”_ ~ **[The Spill Magazine](https://spillmagazine.com/spill-video-premiere-harry-stafford-marco-butcher-termite-city/)**

_“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](http://bigtakeover.com/news/VideoPremiereTheresSomeoneTryinToGetInbyHarryStaffordMarcoButcher)**

Manchester underground music icon **[Harry Stafford](https://www.facebook.com/harrystaffordUK)**
and US-based Brazilian guitarist [**Marco Butcher**](https://www.facebook.com/marco.butcher)
present the new [**‘Bone Architecture’**](https://harrystafford.bandcamp.com/album/bone-architecture)
album, a 12-track effort, made possible thanks to the power of the internet.

Despite the distance, Stafford and Butcher are punk soul brothers from the same 
muddy musical pond. Connecting during a year of ‘lockdown hell’ inadvertently led
to their collaboration. Marco’s tracks were recorded at his **Boombox Studio**. 
Harry laid down vocals, piano and other instruments at **Black Lagoon Records**.
London trumpet supremo **Kevin Davy** added jazz tones into the mix.

“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**.

‘Bone Architecture’ is a superb 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. The LP includes
reworked older material, brand-new compositions and even a dirty blues version of
the **Pink Floyd** classic **‘Arnold Layne’**.

The duo have also revealed the video for [**‘Termite City’**](https://youtu.be/-VTI4UMvwto),
featuring Stafford riding through England’s northern capital, half scoffing at it
while fully loving it nevertheless.

“’Termite City’ is a celebration of the dirty city that always keeps standing no
matter what people throw at it. Bombs, Riots, Scottish Football fans, Demolition,
bad planning. People love this city and will do everything to protect it and despite
their cynicism, they just can’t help themselves but be proud. Show a little love.
A city is a termite tower with thousands of people all working to make their way
in it. This termite Tower is Manchester; termites even build cathedral mounds,” 
says **Harry Stafford**.

Earlier, Stafford and Butcher released [**‘There’s Someone Tryin’ To Get In’**](https://youtu.be/3kpQmI7Dy7k)**,**
which has garnered the duo press attention and airplay in several dozen countries.

Best known as founder, guitarist and vocalist of Manchester post-punk gothic rockers****
[**Inca Babies**](https://www.facebook.com/incababies/), Harry’s two most recent
solo albums (**[‘Guitar Shaped Hammers’ ](https://harrystafford.bandcamp.com/)**
and [**‘Gothic Urban Blues’**](https://ffm.to/harrystaffordgub)) 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.  

From Sao Paulo, Marco Butcher now lives in Winston Salem, North Carolina. A prolific
artist, his acts include **The Jam Messengers, Chicken Snake**, and **The Jesus 
and The Groupies**. Professing the American underground of blues, jazz, rockabilly
and screaming punk blues, he has collaborated with **Hugo Race** and members of**
Tex and the Horseheads, Pussy Galore, Gumball, The Gories, Gibson Brothers, Jerry
Teel, The Oblivians **and** The Workdogs.**

On September 3, the ‘Bone Architecture’ LP will be released on CD and will also 
be available everywhere online, including** **[**Spotify**](https://open.spotify.com/artist/5JXtZ10c6Bah5IRERYaln0?si=8B04c4bYRPSTjyxtMNp7AA)
