SHORING:
Our music is inspired by reclaimed lumber, people who speak the truth, and that perfect cup of coffee. We’re chasing down quality and authenticity, because what else could we possibly do. Write songs from the heart. Play real instruments together, purely for the love of it. Searching for a truer sound.

NO PLUG:
Inspired by a diverse wave of new music from the progressive mind of Ben Haggerty (Macklemore & Ryan Lewis) to the raw, unforgiving lyrical ambitiousness of Billy Joe Armstrong, Portland, OR based multi-instrumentalist Austin Frost presents No Plug. No Plug points to Austin’s acerbic attitude which collides inclusively with a sanguine outlook on his past, present, and future life. Austin discovered that music could have dramatic effects in someone’s life when he learned how to use it to cope with his experiences growing up.
Deep synthesizers and heavy guitarwork has become signature in No Plug’s sound, and is accompanied by a voice greatly influenced by 2000’s pop rock artists. “I really want to use this as an outlet for topics that are too politically charged for everyday conversation, but too important to ignore.” Austin notes about No Plug. “Actually, that is how songs like Anchors were able to come out. Sometimes it’s so easy to get caught up in the emotion of what you experience, that it is hard to comprehend what really happens from an unbiased perspective.”
