Samuel Locke Ward is a prolific Iowa-based DIY musician and visual artist known for his wildly creative, genre-blurring output spanning lo-fi punk, experimental pop, and surrealist noise. Since the early 2000s, he’s self-released hundreds of albums, EPs, and cassettes (often handmade), including recent titles like *Destroy All Monsters*, *Purple Pie Plow*, and the Ryan Cassata-remixed *I’m Just A Hole, Sir*. His work balances raw, home-recorded energy with darkly humorous lyrics and unexpected sonic detours, earning cult status in the underground scene. Alongside solo projects, he’s collaborated with acts like The Mutating Meltdowns and frequently shares quirky visual art, embodying a restless, unpolished creative spirit that’s equal parts punk ethos and Midwestern eccentricity.
