They have one weird fuckin' name. Whenever I think of Algernon Cadwallader, the first thing that comes to mind is the fact that that is something I might name my turtle, if I had one. But they're just one band I can't stop talking about & recommending. One half of Peter And Craig, Peter [duh], who toured with Towers & I Would Set Myself on Fire for You during Summer '06, shares a frontman & bassist with Algernon. You can definitely tell that there is some kinsella influence, it's like American Football meets SOMETHING FUCKIN' COOL THAT I CANNOT EXPLAIN AT ALL. The scratchy, raw vocals compliment the twinkly guitars. The drums are just... I don't know. They add this variable to the music, it's just so like... encouraging. When you listen to Algernon Cadwallader, take for example, the track with the extremely long name, "Look Down (Because the Ground Is Easier to Understand and Doesn't Take So Much Work to Figure Out But I'd Rather Not Know Where I'm Standing and Have An Idea of What Life Is All About)" (TLDR, I KNOW RIGHT), you feel this overwhelming optimistic feeling, like "HEY, LETS GET OUT THERE & GET SOME SHIT DONE! CLEAN MY KITCHEN? NO FUCKIN' PROBLEM, HELL YEAH! I HAVE TO SEW MY CURTAINS? I FUCKING LOVE SEWING!" It's great. You just have to experience it for yourself. Can't find it anywhere? Check out their Myspace. I seeked for my soul until I couldn't seek any longer, and nothing came up. Eventually I worked up the balls to send them an email saying "GIVE ME YR FECKIN' DEMO ASSHOLE" in a much more polite manner, and man, thats the best thing I've done is '07 so far (I'm lying), it's a really good demo.
Full length anytime soon? God, I hope so.

I am proud to announce that I am taking pre-orders for the Her Breath On Glass "What we left behind" collections c.d.
This was a collaborative effort between myself, Bear Records, and Her Breath On Glass.
All the c.d.s are pressed on black poly carbonate discs with elaborate full color arigato pak covers. The c.d. includes songs from hbog #'s 1,3,5,7,8,9,11,12 . plus the live tracks from the limited box sets that hbog did a few months back.
The pre-order version is limited to 25 and come in handsewn sleeves with a screened image, cute her breath on glass lettering, hand numbering, and a special message from me. This is exclusive to my label.
They are $12ppd (only because of the special packaging and shipping) and should ship around July 17th. You can order: paypal: vegan_hugs@yahoo.com or message me about snailmail.
Thank you for your patience. As always I appreciate the support. xo Erick
