dinner theatre punk-hop.

About Me

hush money is Ray "razor blades" Godin, and Karol "cuddles" Orzechowski, two front-man backbenchers who know when to lay low and take charge. Using various forms of percussion in conjunction with computer technology and taut vocal cords, they make music that is easy to listen to and hard to define. Or maybe it's easy to define? How about this: Vegan-Electro-Ambient-Punk-Hop. Sounds good to me.
razor blades and cuddles met in the throes of high school, playing in scrappy cover bands and honing their skills against seemingly insurmountable odds. But they persevered, and after high school collborated on a number of projects, including "The Ryan Fucking Perks Orchestra" and "Keepers of a Broken Heart." hush money is by far their most heated and serious collaboration so far, incorporating a wide range of different techniques that both motherfuckers have learned from the backs of cereal boxes along the way.
hush money will be releasing two companion EPs in the very near future, and playing a town near you sooner than you think.
