Potbelly / 13 Scars Split

Released in 2013 as a split 7-inch EP via Snatchee Records and cataloged as CAR 004 by Crash Assailant Records, the Potbelly / 13 Scars Split serves up a fierce, double-sided dose of unfiltered Pacific Northwest underground punk rock. This split brings together two tightly knit forces of the Washington state DIY circuit, with Whidbey Island’s long-running punk mainstays Potbelly dropping their signature brand of snotty, hyper-aggressive hardcore alongside the metallic, heavy-hitting punk-thrash style of 13 Scars. What makes this record so incredibly cool is how both bands tap into the fast, aggressive, and irreverent spirit of classic PNW skate punk, channeling the chaotic speed of The Accüsed and the raw, confrontational humor of The Dwarves. Anchored by hard-hitting anthems like No Last Call and I’m An Alien, the release drives a relentless, fast-tempo energy fueled by blown-out guitars and snarling, dual-vocal delivery, standing as a perfect snapshot of the fierce, and loud-as-hell basement scene thriving outside the major city hubs.
