A new side project, a fresh approach for Preston Maddox of Bloody Knives. After working with Dean Garcia (Curve, SPC ECO) for the special project S T F U, Preston is exploring new sounds and styles, without losing any of the insistence and claustrophobia that make Bloody Knives such a thrill ride. This project is unique, and this first release is an exclusive to this compilation.
