Alright, let’s talk Henry Owings—the guy who’s been giving the music world a wedgie since the ‘90s. He kicked off Chunklet in Athens, GA, as a zine to stick it to the man after his freelance gigs got mangled. That DIY rag turned into a full-on empire, slinging razor-sharp satire at bands, hipsters, and anyone who takes themselves too seriously. Think Mad Magazine meets a punk rock record store. Henry’s penned books like The Rock Bible—a hilarious guide to surviving the rock ‘n’ roll circus—and The Indie Cred Test, a Kickstarter-backed jab at “cool” that makes you question your vinyl obsession. His Grammy-nominated design work for bands like Olivia Tremor Control and Man… or Astro-man? proves he’s got an eye for art, not just snark. He’s promoted over a thousand shows, toured with comedy legends like Patton Oswalt on the Comedians of Comedy, and runs a label dropping quirky gems from the Oblivians to his own bizarre Micro-Impressions Volume 1—a 7-inch of one-second band parodies that’s peak Henry. His Plus 1 Atlanta book, with a David Cross foreword, is a love letter to Atlanta’s underground, packed with flyers and grit. Lately, he’s digging into the Chunklet Music Preservation Project, saving obscure rock relics while keeping his Instagram and Bandcamp buzzing with fans who dig his “we’re all dicks, but you’re the worst” vibe. Henry’s the invisible maestro of indie culture, always ready to roast the mainstream with a smirk.
Plus 1 Durban is Henry’s kind of high—a custom mashup of First Impression and Durban Poison that’s as bold as a Chunklet headline. Durban Poison, that South African sativa legend, hits like a stage dive: pure pine and anise with a lemon-lime zing, pumping 15-25% THC for a heady, creative buzz that’ll have you scribbling zine ideas or mocking bad band names. First Impression, a sneaky hybrid of Colombian Gold’s citrus spark and Granddaddy Purple’s grape chill, grounds it with a relaxed, giggly finish. The flavor? A sassy mix of tangy citrus, earthy pine, and sweet berry that lingers like a good punchline. Expect a high that’s witty and wired (brainstorming your next roast), giggly as hell (laughing at your own jokes), clear-headed chaos (plotting world domination), and mellow mischief (chilling without losing the edge). Some say strains like this can melt stress or lift moods, but we’re not doctors—check with one before you toke. This strain’s built to match Henry’s vibe: sharp, fun, and a little rebellious.
We’re obsessed with crafting kickass strains that vibe with our partners’ wild souls.
