A nice cliché that music writers like to toss around for a band's sound or album is "intoxicating." Well, one of Portland's longest running and best rock bands is ready to take that idea one tipsy step forward. Wow & Flutter are proud to present to the world Double Deuce, an mp3 EP that originally could only be obtained when you purchase a bottle of Alameda Brewing's Double Deuce Imperial Ale. Double Deuce expands the trio's warped take on noise rock and psych punk. The five songs here help to further expose the darker side of the band's sound that they exhibited on the group's incredible 2010 release Equilibrio! (Mt. Fuji Records). Although the band Wow & Flutter have been around since the late '90s, the current and possibly greatest lineup of the band—singer/guitarist Cord Amato, drummer Jack Houston, and bassist/keyboardist/vocalist Ryan Matheson—has been in place since 2006. This lean three-piece has spend these past five years tearing at the eardrums of music fans in the NW via their taut, vicious live shows and equally snarling albums (Equilbrio! and the 2008 Jealous Butcher release Golden Touch).
