Portland, Oregon's The Builders and the Butchers return with their seventh studio album No Tomorrow Well known for their energized live performances and a dedicated fanbase that travel long distances to see them play, their brand of folk-rock is best served live. Audiences can look forward to lively performances, where the fourth wall is broken and the audience is able to participate in call and response sing-a-longs. Sometimes the band will hand out instruments for fans to play, and they'll get down off the stage to perform right on the floor. These eleven songs were written with the current cultural changes and challenges in mind. The overarching message is that we can find hope in each other and still lead lives full of joy and creativity even when systems and leaders fail us. Seeking commonalties though music to create a connected shared experience for people, they strive for a live rock and roll experience akin to a church for the non-religious and religious alike. "We would love to see you at a show, shake your hand, give you a hug, and talk with you. We are forever grateful to you: our strange, unique, amazing fans. We are thrilled to share this album with you and hope it brings some light into the darkness," remarks Sollee." No Tomorrow was produced and recorded by multi-instrumentalist bandmate Ray Rude at his Laundry Room Studio. NPR has described the band as specializing in a kind of white-knuckle Americana: "Their acoustic folk-rock sound is shot through with nervy, hellfire-and-brimstone intensity. The Portland-born band's hometown brethren in The Decemberists provide a useful reference point - singer/guitaris Ryan Sollee has a wide-open bellow and a gift for vivid imagery." "As our lives become more digital, people are sharing physical spaces less and less. The creation and performance of live music is an ever crucial, consistent, and communal space. In these spaces people can share the sounds, sights and smells of what it's like to be moved in unison and feel connection," says Sollee.
