Recording notes

From How Flowers Grow (2021). How Flowers Grow is the debut studio album by American hardcore punk band Scowl. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Gibson SG Standard through an Orange Rocker 15, the rig we use for Scowl's other songs from How Flowers Grow, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.
