DiggUp Tapes first Cassingles Boxset

I’ve recently been reminiscing on the summer days in which DiggUp Tapes was forming. It was a hot Carolina day, where we all met at a pool to cool off. Nathan Price and Brian Corum were there flowing with ideas on how to capture the music that was happening throughout the Triangle. This is the music I see live every weekend, I listen to on my stereo, and the music that I am lucky to hear in production stage off someone’s computer or on stage at a local venue.  Because of the atmosphere of supporting artists, this music is constantly changing and being renewed. This music is an expression of today’s culture here in the Triangle, which is a sound and experience that is unique from any other city, despite our globalized world.

I am ecstatic about the DiggUp Taps first Cassingles Boxset, a document of North Carolina’s current underground music landscape. What makes this boxset so great is that it juxtaposes many bands with roots in NC together on one compilation to capture the sounds of the area.

The bands include: Arbor Myst, Birds of Avalon, Embarrassing Fruits, Fat Camp, Gross Ghost, Lonnie Walker, Motor Skills, NAPS, Snails, Veelee, Whatever Brains, and Yardwork. 

On February 10^th and 11^th, DiggUp Tapes has their Release Party at Kings Barcade, and will feature many bands from the Cassingles Boxset. It is a must see, because nothing beats reality!
