Ellensburg’s Mark Paschen is looking to carve a unique sonic path with his band Robber’s Roost. He proclaims the band’s blend of ramshackle folk, punk rock and swinging ragtime to be “ragpunk.” On albums like 2022’s Rage & Reason, Robber’s Roost showcases a romantically thorny DIY spirit with tunes that would actually make you stop and listen if you saw them busking on a street corner. The only thing Robber’s Roost is gonna steal is your attention.
