Mr. Stitches

Shut Up, Monster!

About Me

Like Edgar Allan Poe with distortion pedals; Mr. Stitches is a lean, mean, rock machine. The self-proclaimed "sweatiest band in Sacramento" is also looking to be the band with the most ludicrously large lexicon. Guitar, bass, drums, and vocals seething songs about evolution, fate, responsibility, and Weimar Cinema. And monkeys! What's not to love?
