2010 was a topsy turvy year that found myself riddled with stress and wonder. I felt like i did a lot of growing up and got to really examine myself and whats important in this small world that i exist in. I'm even more in love with building, creating, exploring and learning. With heavy music, strong coffee, good accomplices, and a loving family, we tread onto 2011.

Welcome lonely souls. Heres who we is.

Here is a collective and all encompassing space for Squalora news and dudes. We are a 4 piece hardcore punk band from Portland, OR. Don't worry kids, we don't sound much like the Wipers, Poison Idea or Tragedy, although we do love those bands. We have been playing music together for nearly 10 years and started in the cold desolate mountains of Montana so many years back. We are fathers, partners, students, workers, all 'round good dudes who have been involved in this whirlwind circus known as punk for as long as anyone can remember. We have a self titled CD/LP out on Defector/Wantage USA records. We also have a new LP called "Hell is Other People" coming out in the next few months on Minor Bird Records. It will be 180 gram vinyl with a download code. Mixed by the legendary Billy Anderson in the Bay Area! We are tickled pink to finally see the release of this beast. If you would like to contact us, please do so and leave comments. -t
