Weasel Walter

Weasel Walter is a relentlessly creative force in experimental music, known for his blistering drumming, abrasive noise collages, and genre-defying collaborations. Emerging from Chicago's underground scene in the early '90s as founder of the confrontational prog-punk band The Flying Luttenbachers, Walter became synonymous with music that claws at the boundaries of free jazz, no-wave chaos, and metallic intensity. His work – whether through solo releases like *Astral Plane Crash* or collaborations with artists like Cellular Chaos and members of Deerhoof – revels in dissonance while maintaining a weirdly precise sense of controlled demolition. Recent releases like *ProtestMusic* and *A Railroad Spike Forms the Voice* showcase his continued obsession with clangorous textures and rhythmic violence, often sounding like a factory imploding in mathematical time. When not unleashing sonic pandemonium, Walter's become an archivist of radical music history, his creative ethos echoing his album title *No Refunds* – uncompromising, unpredictable, and permanently switched to attack mode.
