“I make it short -BETTER THAN CLUTCH!”
Behold! Splitting Sky gets a complete makeover for it’s vinyl release, now only about five weeks away! The artwork you see here will be hand silk screened onto the covers of a limited run of only 200 copies, which will also include clear/blue swirled vinyl.

“…as each song in their set began, I recognized it immediately.”
“In my view, Borracho with this debut has become one of the highlights in the stoner rock / metal scene in ’11.”
“…irresistible stoner boogie filtered through a loud ass production, and sludge-y riffs/tones…”
“…it’s among the dudeliest albums I’ve heard this year…”
“This is hands-down the Stoner Metal Album release of 2011….”
“Borracho has come up with one hell of a début…”
At long last our debut Splitting Sky is available for sale on CD and digital download through iTunes, CD Baby, Bandcamp, Amazon, and right here on our site! Get it now and tell us what you think. Our good friend Metal Chris over at DCHeavyMetal.com will be giving away 5 copies of the CD, 10 [...]
That’s right, we’ve got big news that will be sure to get all you vinyl addicts salivating. Our good friends and long-time Adam West co-conspirators No Balls Records in Germany have agreed to a special edition vinyl release in the fall. The LP will be pressed on 180 gram clear/blue swirl wax, with a custom [...]
Thanks to all of you who have checked out the recent reviews and exclusive streams of “All In Play” and “Grinder” on Heavy Planet and The Soda Shop, respectively. We’ve had such a great response to those tracks that we decided to share a little more before the release of Splitting Sky on June 28. [...]
“My recommendation is that you get onboard with this one right now…because chances are, you’ll be paying good money to hear Borracho play it “in its entirety” ten years from now.”
“This is album full of catchy lyrics, monster riffs, gruffy vocals and everything that makes an album a classic.”
“The sound is pure, slaying, riff rock in the spirit of Clutch, Fu Manchu, Orange Goblin…”
We’ll be rolling out more info over the coming days, but a quick update to share the cover, tracklist, and release date of our first record. We’re really proud of the piece of music we created in Splitting Sky. The album’s 8 tracks encompass 57+ minutes of music that are best experienced together, as a [...]
March and April have been busy and productive months for Borracho, with the recording and mixing of our debut full-length record, a couple of great regional shows, our participation in the Heavy Planet March Bandness Tournament, and now our nomination to become The Deli Magazine Washington DC/Baltimore’s artist of the month. To take part in [...]
Fittingly, on the day we got first mixes from Frank for the record, I just happened to have made this video from footage and photos I shot on my phone during the studio sessions last month. So enjoy this small glimpse into our sessions, and a small taste of the song Bloodsucker while we enjoy [...]
2011 is starting out big for Borracho. The band just completed tracking their as-yet-untitled debut album with Frank Marchand at the board at Airshow Studios in Takoma Park, Maryland.
