Caustic Resin

Caustic Resin formed in 1988 in Boise, Idaho with the line up of Brett Netson on guitar and vocals (formerly of Boise's punk band the Pugs), Tom Romich on Bass (and sometimes vocals) and Pat Perkins on drums. By the time that they recorded their first record for C/Z, entitled "Body Love/ Body Hate", Pat had left to work more on his other band, Size of Alaska, and James Dillion joined, thus beginning the "classic" Caustic line up. Roughly around the same time, Brett started playing bass with Doug Martsch and Ralf Youtz (drums) in the first incarnation of Built to Spill on the album "Ultimate Alternative Wavers" which started a long standing collaboration with Doug. Caustic then went on to record their next record for Up, "Fly Me To The Moon" in 1994, which was followed closely by the "Built to Spill/ Caustic Resin" EP. Caustic then made a label switch to Alias where they recorded their next three records. In 1999 Caustic had a couple of line up additions, with Mike Johnson (bass) and Joe Plummer (drums) on the songs that James and Tom were not on. Joe Plummer left shortly after to work with The Black Heart Procession. After "The Afterbirth" Brett hooked back up with Pat Perkins, and together with Mike and Tom they have released their newest album, appropriately titled "Keep on Truckin'" which finds them back on Up once again.

Caustic Resin is inarguably one of the most influential founding fathers in the Pacific Northwest music scene. Famous for a reckless abandon level of guitar-heavy rock, Caustic Resin is as innovative as they are abrasive. The band formed in 1988 in Boise Idaho. Today, the line-up consists of Brett Netson (on Guitar & Vocals) Mike Johnson (bass & guitar) and Pat Perkins (drums.) Brett, the heart, soul and hardhat of Caustic was a founding member of Built to Spill and continues to tour with them on occasion. Mike Johnson is a highly respected musician in his own rite, widely known for his solo career and time spent in Dinosaur Jr., Mark Lanegan and Queens of the Stone Age. “Keep on Truckin’” is Caustic Resin’s sixth full-length album since their incarnation over a decade ago. Caustic Resin have long been lauded for their musical mastery and artistic ambition. Indie-rock guitar god, Netson, & shaped a generation of musician’s.
