The Woolen Men ready Temporary Monument, share "After The Flood"

The Woolen Men are three – two Oregon natives and a Washingtonian.  They play punk influenced DIY music in the Pac-NW tradition of Dead Moon and the Wipers.  More than a sound or style, that means a kind of work ethic – do-it-yourself and do it a lot.  The band is happiest touring up and down the I-5 or bunkered in their practice space with the cassette four-track rolling.  And it shows.  Live, the band is thunderous and energetic and the magnetic chemistry of the three of them playing together shines through in the recordings.
This week the band announces their sophomore album Temporary Monument on Woodsist Records, due September 4.  Stream the album’s first single “After The Flood” over at FLOOD Magazine.

The Woolen Men are Alex Geddes, Lawton Browning and Raf Spielman.  They live and work in Portland, OR.  Raf previously released an album of solo material under his Polyps moniker for Woodsist’s sister label Hello Sunshine.
