Cockroach Soup

A bluegrass band with gritty, foot-stomping tunes about survival and hard times.

The pitch

Cockroach Soup is a bluegrass band serving up gritty, foot-stomping songs about survival, hard times, and the kind of dark humor that gets you through both. Built for fans of raw traditional bluegrass and Americana who like a little dark humor, the name fits because it is ugly, resilient, and oddly satisfying, just like the music. This domain gives the band a memorable home for tour dates, recordings, and merch.

Requirements:
- Choose the simplest stack that genuinely delivers this. A focused web app or site is fine; deployable to a single host.
- Shipping quality: clean layout, fast load, sensible defaults, readable on mobile.
- Design language: the product has its own identity, not a template default. Palette: dirty amber #b45309, barn wood #7c2d12, faded denim #3b4d61, bone #e7e0d0. Visual style: weathered hand-printed woodcut. Build the UI in that theme - backgrounds, accents and type personality - rather than a generic dark-gray-and-lime scheme.
- Build the core user loop end to end. Avoid dead buttons and placeholder pages.
- Keep the first version tight enough to launch this month. Note anything deliberately deferred.
- No cryptocurrency, gambling or pay-to-win mechanics, even as a joke.
- When done, list the 3 most useful things to do to reach the first real users.
