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.”
Caribou Barbie is too confused about the difference between ‘economic bailout’ and ‘socialism’ to write her own letter to you today so she asked that I do so in her absence.
She wants you all to know that she prays for each of you daily and if you don’t pray to God that she win the debate against Joe Biden on October 2nd, you will die a painful death like a filthy wolf slowly dying of a single gunshot wound in the middle of an Alaskan winter. And she said to tell you to rot hell if you don’t pray for her too.
As for those who are *saved*, she invites you to join her as a friend and add the song ‘Caribou Barbie’ to your own Myspace page today at:
With your diligent prayers Caribou Barbie will strike Joe Biden’s Irish Catholic rear end to the floor the night of the debates and bring that evolution-loving pagan Gwen Ifill to her knees in Christ Our Lord’s name.
