Nightcap with MEST tonight in Chicago!
Nightcap playing tonight with Chicago pop-punk legends MEST! Debut album hits digital stores everywhere this Tuesday, 2/11/2014.
Nightcap “S/T” hits digital in February.
The south side of Chicago is pretty rough, especially Blue Island. It reeks of drunks, gun powder, crime, exhaust, and weed. For the sake of not confusing the reader, Chicago pedigrees NIGHTCAP wouldn’t have it any other way. When not making runs to Miskah’s Liquor Emporium and the infamous Harold’s Chicken Shack, these Blue Island locals are sawing through their set all over the Midwest, and writing/recording at what one would consider a prolific rate.Continue reading…
Scatterbox “Something’s Gotta Give” Single Out Now!
As we here in the Blackhouse camp wrap up the final touches on the new Scatterbox record, the promotional machine rolls on, offering the second single off the upcoming album.

Scatterbox “Infection III” 10th Anniversary.
Something hit us today. Tomorrow marks the 10th anniversary of Scatterbox’s breakthrough record “Infection III”. It hit us while we were looking through a bunch of old tour photos from 2004 after the record had come out (on November 5th, 2003). It was Scatterbox’s first U.S. tour and they pissed away every dime they had to make it work. Well, it worked out in their favor for sure, landing them a spot in the soundtracksContinue reading…
