Phil Merwin of dirtclodfight dropped by Sounds of PDX to talk about his new poetry collection Songs for Hungry Ghosts (out on Cavity Search Records), where poetry and punk collide, dealing with hungry ghosts and inner critics, and an exciting upcoming Portland show – dirtclodfight’s first in 10 years – at No Fun on April 17.
Take a listen below – Phil treated us to a beautiful reading of “Portland” and we rocked out to some old school dirtclodfight “Black Dwarf”.
