Who is Nate Allen might you ask? Why do I want to destroy him? The answer is simple, you might not have to - he's on a pace to destroy himself.

For two years, Nate Allen has been traveling the west coast in anyway imaginable (buses, trains and hitch-hiking are just the start!) to deliver his brutally honest form of folk rock to anyone who would listen, all while holding down his day job bagging groceries.

In between (and sometimes on) tours Nate has produced a growingly impressive and prolific discography. This year alone he is slated to release five records, the latest of which, his debut full length - Awake O' Sleeper, is the cause for celebration!

Awake, features: 10 songs self-recorded by Nate in San Francisco, at night after work and will be his fifth release with Portland D.I.Y. collective Quiver Society (Soul Junk) and the first to bear his new moniker Destroy Nate Allen. Sticking to his D.I.Y. ethics, Nate has decided to release Awake via his website destroynateallen.com and at shows FOR FREE!

Why you ask? "I hate seeing people leave empty handed if they're at all interested in my music," he said.

With songs ranging from brooding country and exuberant folk punk to introspective indie rock and at times even gospel, Awake O' Sleeper is easily Nate's finest work to date. The record which was mastered by Kramer (Butthole Surfers, Half-Japanese, Danielson, GWAR) will be released on Oct. 7th and followed immediately by a two week tour etched out along Greyhound routes from San Francisco, to Vancouver, Canada and back.
