Raggedy Angry

When it comes to an unbridled penchant for brutally honest lyrics and bare bones beats, we can call vocalist and songwriter Irvin Scabtree “Master”, or at least that’s the title of one of their most downloaded tracks on itunes. Along with guitarist Pressit, the two released an epic 12 song debut record in 2006. Pressit’s chunky guitar riffs complemented Scabtree’s predilection for the electronic. Together at only the age of 17 they released Take Me, Break Me, Make Me Pretty; a monstrous electro record that gained the attention of the music industry.
