Will Butler

Will Butler keeps himself busy by playing a huge part in fast DIY hardcore punk music and running To Live A Lie Records. His record label is an outlet to show new bands to the masses the best he can. What it doesn't show is a vibrant small DIY scene that has developed in the Southeast, in and around Raleigh, NC, where Will calls home. Will has been a frequent contributor to magazines such as Maximum Rock'N'Roll as well as Short, Fast, & Loud and has created a few short run ephemeral magazines from Don't Be Swindle, a grindcore/powerviolence-centric fanzine, to Distort Raleigh, a historical local punk zine, and his greatest contribution Fastcore Photos, a photozine that includes dazzling photos as well as show reviews and interviews. Shook Up will be releasing his Fastcore Photos book/DVD which compiles two hard to find first issues, an unreleased third issue, as well as many extras.
