Despite what his mammoth bass guitar sound may suggest, rock band Crypt City bassist Kentaro Nakao is comically self-deprecating at times.
"This sounds terrible, but I have no commercial ambitions for this band," he says with a laugh. His band's new album, "Chant," will be self-released on vinyl and cassette only. And it will only be available to buy at shows and independent record stores.
"I don't want to put this band through the conventional distribution channels and cause anyone trouble," Nakao says.
