Grubstake is a 2 and 3 piece band that's been developing their unique concoction of velvety-sandpaper thundergroove in the Do-It-Yerself laboratory for the past few years. Their music falls somewhere between electric folk blues and circus music, with live arrangements that feature a rotating line-up of accompaniment instruments including bass, accordion, and toy piano, cemented by a burning lonesome boogie-woogie.

"farm use" is the group's debut release. 11 smokin tracks of beefy drum-and-guitar chops, Grubstake kicks out the jams with hard-luck songs about apocalyptic nightmares, ice cream with the devil, Soilent Green, and telephones. Recorded and produced by the band, the CD includes lyrics and original artwork.

Boston's Noise magazine writes, "A great hot, humid summer album...Indie rock at its best."
