Folklore! Narcissism! Destruction!

Digital release of the Insomniac Folklore / Destroy Nate Allen / Self Proclaimed Narcissist triple split EP hits Bandcamp today!!

Read All About It:

Our friends Danielle & Michael wrote a critical / joke of an essay about Destroy Nate Allen, Insomniac Folklore and Self Proclaimed Narcissist. At first the essay stung a bit and then lightening struck!!!!

We had to release a split EP that included this amazing essay as the only liner notes. The album had to include “covers” and “originals” by all three bands. It’s hard to say who wrote which songs… it’s all become one big joke and I love it.

You see Tyler, Eric and I are all from the same small Oregon town of Roseburg. We’ve been friends for years and in more ways than one we’ve probably inspired each other to be more creative. I know I’ve stolen an idea or 2 over the years.

So with that in mind we have unleashed what is probably the most narcissistic album in history. The art is packed full of epic and awkward photos and comes complete with an amazing essay exposing the dark side of Folklore, Narcissism and Destruction.

I’m also pretty stoked because I was able to design the artwork which if I do say so myself is worth the free cost of the download.

To collect all 9 songs and read the essay you must visit:

So there you have it, the first scavenger hunt in the history of Destroy Nate Allen!

Roseburg Show Monday!

I threw concerts in Roseburg from 1998 up until I moved away in 2004. At that point I ran a promotion company called Rock 4 Reason. The home of these “scene” in those days was the American Legion Hall. It was just the right size and feel. We built an amazing community around the space. We called the Legion Hall home. Alot of sweat, blood, hugs and smiles were shared in the space.

If you live around Roseburg pick up a copy of The News Review on Thursday we’re getting featured in currents!

Let’s make Monday a night to remember!

Roseburg Show

Thanks to everyone for coming out our show in Roseburg last night. We had a great time! A big thanks needs to go out to Carlson Productions for keeping the scene alive! Support Erik in anyway you can. It was awesome to rock with Josh from Showbread in Roseburg. It seems things have come full circle. One of personal highlights was seeing Insomniac Folklore randomly play a medley of our songs.

If you have any photos or videos from the show let us know!!!

Thanks.

Nate
