Canadian Wedding Update


Nick Stutsman has posted an update on the upcoming Canadian Wedding record here.

He said:

I’ve been working on this album for a bit. I started it wanting it to be a full band project, writing the songs myself and recording them as more than just me and an acoustic guitar. That didn’t really happen so things are changing again. Maybe, probably, for the better.

 #1 - I still have a broken ankle so I haven’t really been playing shows. I probably won’t be walking ‘til February. Shit sucks. But once I’m walking, we’ll be playing some more midwest shows.

 #2 - Since these songs didn’t end up being full band, I didn’t want to continue writing the album the way it was going, but also don’t want to just not use these songs. So I’ll be releasing an EP titled “Keep Count” with these songs (dates not totally figured out yet) and then write the album over, which brings us to

 #3 - Writing the album with a bunch of people because I feel like it’ll make it a lot better/more what I want. Having my friends’ input and actually writing the songs with a lot of instruments instead of writing on the guitar by myself and trying to add to it I hope will mean a better end product.

 #4 - I could’ve just said this in #2 but I sort of wanted it to be its own thing. My good buddy Kehan is awesome and wanted to release the aforementioned EP through his new label “Don’t Live Like Me Records”. ( www.facebook.com/dontlivelikeme ) You may know Kehan from his work with Interskramz records which eventually turned into Driftwood records. He is great. The EP is going to be released digitally (on bandcamp) sometime in the next few weeks, with a preorder set up through the label. You will NOT be preordering through me because of obvious reasons (I suck at shipping out mail and I should be sued for that and for sucking in general if we’re being honest) and so Kehan and the label will be who you order through. You will receive your record. I promise. Promise.

 So look out for more updates on when preorders/songs are online.

Early In The Morning by James Vincent McMorrow (2010) (Review)

  I've  decided to create a new genre. I call it “beardcore”. Scene heads generally make confessional folk music recorded alone in some isolated building (cabin, hut, beach house etc.) with only acoustic guitars, banjos and whatnot for company. Oh, and they have beards. Now you may think to yourself, ‘This will never take off! How silly of her!’ and, given most of my genre creating, you’d be right (Oberstcore never did take off…), but this scene is not just existing, but is currently thriving. The newest beardcore artist is James Vincent McMorrow’. Joining Bon Iver and Fleet Foxes in the genre, McMorrow hails from the not so green isle of Ireland and is making waves with his debut album Early In The Morning , eleven tracks of atmospheric indie-folk with intelligent musicianship, and more intelligent lyrics. The album starts off with “If I Had A Boat” an initially a capella, atmospheric grower. Starting off quietly, it eases the listener into the record with McMorrow...

Track-By-Track: Forest Life EP by McCafferty

McCafferty 's recent EP, Forest Life, is one of The Alternative Tone's favourite releases so far this year. I caught up with Nick to get a track-by-track on the EP, in order to give us more insight into McCafferty's fabulous imagery and lyrical themes.  Jeff    There was a girl I was friends with in high school named Becky and she was in a relationship with this guy from freshman year until last summer, when their relationship fell apart she told me it happened really fast, that's why the song is so short. I wanted to explore the aspect of a relationship with so much feeling that just ends abruptly and the emptiness that you feel after. I've had people message me and say they wish Jeff was longer, but that's the exact reason I made it so short.  Snakes  I wrote "Snakes" with the mindset of making a song that sort of pokes fun at all these dogs out there in the DIY scene about smoking and partying, it's really simplistic in the lyrics b...

McCafferty Split Up

Sadly, Ohio folk/pop/punkers McCafferty have decided to split up. Read their statement below. Dear Everyone, I'm sorry. It is with great sadness and excitement that I inform you all that McCafferty is coming to an end. I am going to be starting to teach soon, and I am required to get a background check, and I don't believe tha t McCafferty is a professional, respectful representation of myself as a newly trained teacher entering the field of Special Education. Music will always have a place in my heart, but my true passion is teaching. I am leaving the scene of DIY antics to follow my pursuit into adulthood, and I am so happy to have shared my bands music with you all. We truly are the essence of a real DIY band. We came into the scene as a dying star that was doomed to go out in the near future, and that time is now. I have already deleted our twitter/other social media websites but I feel that you all deserve an explanation of what is happening. To all the kids who listen...
