The Cutler: The new name from the "Pork Recordings" continuation



The Cutler is the electronica/downtempo collaboration of Steve Cobby (Fila Brazillia's one half) & David ‘Porky’ Brennand (founder of legendary Pork Recordings).

Formed in 2006, their debut release came in 2007 on the electronica label Steel Tiger Records (based in Hull/Sheffield and established by Cobby with Sim Lister (member of Sheffield band Chakk and now, with Steve Cobby, is in The Heights of Abraham and J*S*T*A*R*S) with the single Stiletto.

The full length album Cutler was released on 7 July 2008 and is everything I've hoped for based on the band's credentials.
