Artist Information

Biography

Experimental and completely off-the-wall, Winston Barrett’s Muchos Backflips! mix up hardcore, metal, epic soundtracks, mariachi brass, unstructured jazz flip-outs and previously untested jerk-rhythms, sometimes all within the same song. Mostly instrumental, when words appear they do so as grunted asides, left to fester in and amongst the cacophony of shredded guitars, weepy horns and convulsive beats.
