Like so many of his fellow Americans, Griffin Stewart, lead singer of the popular, L.A. based indie band Wildphyr, is fed up with the way our so-called leaders have been running the show. But closing in 2008, he’s hopeful that some big changes are in store just around the corner.
Speaking for everyone who is determined to change the political landscape in the coming months, the singer/songwriter’s infectious new anthem “Americans On The Mend,” is--in line with the title of his band’s debut CD--starting a powerful Movement nationwide. The song’s lyrics bark our frustrations, motivating us to take action. That means everyone with a stake in the future of America, beginning with college students, those involved in political campaigns, supporters of environmental causes, etc. It’s about who we are and what we can do.
“The project was originally going to be self-titled, but as we were working on it, all the pieces fell into place perfectly and I realized that from track to track, it was telling a story which had real Movement,” says Stewart. “We’re really taking a journey, starting out with ‘E Machine,’ and ‘Americans On The Mend,’ fitting perfectly into today’s economic and political climates.”
Just as the story that became Movement evolved very naturally as the recording took shape, the moniker Wildphyr has some interesting and organic, even mystical origins. “The beauty of the album is in how the pieces landed together,” says Stewart. “The name of the band came to me when I had a dream one night. I was walking through the woods, and sitting in a camp with some people was a spiritual shaman. So I asked him, what should I call my band? He said, ‘Wildfire.’ I woke up and knew that had to be the name. When it came to the spelling I thought of the word ‘Zephyr,’ which means wind. It just had a cool ring to it.”

GIVE PEACE A CHANCE is not just an outdated catch phrase!! It's still as important as when it was first written!!
We can still all do this.....and if you want to be part of the solution...
...then do consider adding my new song, "Think Peace" to your profile. It's easy to do, just go to my profile and right under the song title on the player is a place to choose "ADD".
The more that this song gets heard, the more that people will stop for a moment, interrupt their routine, and think about peace. If people do this, even just for a moment, there is an effect! So, YOU can be part of the solution....
And if you do add the song to your profile, PLEASE be sure to let me know so I can drop you a note and thank you personally! ;)
Think Peace! Sing Peace! BE peace! Much Love, Andrew
