We are The Blaxstonz
Released April, 2009
Produced by Scott Colburn
Recorded at Colburn’s Studio
Mastered by RFI/CD Mastering
Album art by John Warner
“Left to their own devices with Scott Colburn (Arcade Fire, Animal Collective) at his voodoo lair, an old Finnish church turned recording studio, The Staxx Brothers return with a vengeance on We are The Blaxstonz. It’s an album that borders on black comedy with heavier social undercurrents; by now as much Chappelle & Carlin as Big Boi and Jagger. It’s a good time record that helps you dance through the tough ones. It’s HARD ASS SOUL. It’s ice cold. This is the way they used to make records. Step real close and you can detect that heavy scent of Howlin’ Wolf runnin’ wild through a Hip Hop landscape...I can still hear him laughin’.”
- Dylan Van Keef
12th Street Blues
Released June, 2007
Produced by Chip Butters
Recorded at Columbia City Theater
Album art by Seth Broman aka Grym
“...It’s not hard to understand how the talents of the Staxx Brothers are accomodating to a variety of styles. This is clear in their recently released album, ”The 12th Street Blues.” A labor of love that took several years to complete, the album takes a number of musical genres - blues, country, soul and classic rock among them - and sends them through a filter of hip-hop rhymes and vocals. And while they freely borrow from such a broad selection of styles, it results in something distinct and genuine, a road map of a diverse musical odyssey.”
- Seattle Post Intelligencer
