   About Your Pretend Boyfriend
As unpredictable as Your Pretend Boyfriend may be, the indie electronic / post-punk band that combines distorted beats and twisted samples on its' quirky and intriguing debut 5-song debut EP "Shards of Glass", the independently produced single (available soon at most major online music retailers including iTunes, Napster, and Rhapsody). Tracks on the soon-to-be-released EP includes the frenetic and infectious "With Love From..." and the no-nonsense stomp of "Schizophrenia" juxtaposed to the spine-tingling "Angels With Their Eyes Sewn Shut".

Your Pretend Boyfriend’s genesis was in early 2006 when Cameron remixed the debut single for British indie rockers LECAIN (now named Black Poets). LECAIN subsequently released the "Suffocate Me EP" featuring the Your Pretend Boyfriend Deconstructed Mix of the title track through Rough Trade Records and iTunes. Listen to the YPB LECAIN remix here!

Following the successful release of the LECAIN remix, Cameron was asked to write two original soundtracks for British / Swedish fashion designers Pudel for their Stockholm, Copenhagen, Los Angeles, and New York runway shows. In his Toronto, Canada-based home studio, Cameron started recording demo tracks and created an online presence for Your Pretend Boyfriend. By mid 2006, he completed the project’s debut instrumental "Let Me Go" and it received an overwhelmingly positive response in electronic music circles. To broaden the depth of the YPB sound, Cameron entered the studio to record an arsenal of new tracks including Hammer Drill Poison, Schizophrenia, and Trapped Under Frozen Lakes. With the addition of Francisco on drums and live visual syncing, the live sound is rounded out and given an energetic make-over.

Happy Thanksgiving

May your stuffing be tasty,
May your turkey plump,
May your potatoes and gravy
Have nary a lump.
May your yams be delicious
And your pies take the prize,
And may your Thanksgiving dinner
Stay off your thighs
