About Me

>>>> IN SEPTEMBER 2008, original drummer Rick Sloot (aka "Tools"), bassist Shawn Thompson, and singer/guitarist Wes Hlebichuck decided to reunite to play some of the early SCATTERED material. The trio quickly found themselves creating new songs and are now working slowly and methodically with BRIAN PAKE at TOY BOX STUDIO. The decision to take more time on recording quality and work with Pake was an easy one. Pake's easy going attitude and focus on great sounding tracks has made the process one of the most satisfying so far for the band. Birch Riley hope to release a their first single from these sessions during the summer of 2009. * * *
