Well once again I've been completely lame and havent updated the site in months. Radfest is coming up this weekend and both Foundation (BAND) and ANN BERETTA will be playing!. We're really excited about both shows and each band will be playing a new song! That's right! A new song - even ANN BERETTA, who hasnt officially written a song since 2003.
Well we hope we'll be seeing you there this weekend. If not, I'm sure it will be all over you tube.

Man I haven't updated the site in forever but there are a few things to post. The new digital EP is out now. Titled "Let it Roll", the EP has 4 new songs, however, if you purchase it directly from Paper+Plastick you'll get 2 additional songs (one is a pretty hot cover of Hysteria by Def Leppard).
Secondly, I'll be playing a solo show in Richmond on Nov 20 at the Hat Factory (formerly Toad's Place) to benefit autistic children and will feature the Bouncing Betties Burleque Troupe. Tickets are $10 in advance at Plan 9 Records in Cary Town. Be there. Check out the flyer.
And lastly, I'm currently finishing up writing a new record that will be recorded in Nashville sometime in January 2010.... More info to come soon.

SLUG MAGAZINE (Salt Lake Under Ground) has reviewed CHIMBORAZO in their latest issue. Check it out below:
Foundation
Chimborazo
Paper + Plastick
Street: 03.24
Foundation = Drag the River + Lucero + Limbeck
It happens all too often these days: a punk-rock frontman picks up an acoustic guitar/banjo/fiddle in an attempt to channel his inner bumpkin. However, Rob Huddleston (ex-Ann Beretta, Inquisition) has been in the punk-gone-folk game for the better part of the new millennium, and Chimborazo proves that Foundation isn’t in it to capitalize on a trend. If you’re looking for gritty man’s man’s tales about riding the rails and shooting men in Reno just to watch them die, you won’t find them here. However, if you’re looking for well-crafted songs and don’t mind a moderate to high amount of twang in your music, you should probably check this out. Most of these songs would work perfectly well without the harmonicas, fiddles and twangy guitar, but these flourishes never come across as gimmicky and they help to give the songs more personality. Foundation is the real deal, and hopefully they won’t get lost in the sea of copycats. –Ricky Vigil
