Blitzen Trapper – Gold for Bread
Blitzen Trapper hails from Portland and as of this very moment has one of the most bad-ass band logos I’ve ever seen. Get a good look at it on the cover to their latest LP Furr.

Here’s the most excellent track “Gold for Bread” off that album. Go buy it on Sub Pop. (I feel extra compelled to support Sub Pop after going to the EMP in Seattle)
