BOYS CLUB-
Boys Club is a collaborative project between Dakota Clark (Oven Rake) and James Resch (Death First); accompanied by Andrew Buck and Mark DePaul on bass and drums respectively. Focusing on textures and structures not found in their previous bands or projects, the duo have branched into an unfamiliar soundscape. The composition was over a year in the making and furthered in production once Resch joined in the project.
