CAPTAIN LOVE FEATURED ON iTunes
CAPTAIN LOVE is one of the featured releases in the "alternative" section in the iTunes Store. You can download the entire album as of today.
Also, CAPTAIN LOVE is the "Release of the Week" at www.downloadpunk.net.
THE MAKING OF CAPTAIN LOVE
CAPTAIN LOVE: Reviews are coming in. Pre-Order now.
Quintessential American indie. Mock Orange encapsulates everything that is good about American indie.
PRE-ORDER CAPTAIN LOVE NOW!!
You can pre-order CAPTAIN LOVE beginning today, July 15th, by going to the Wednesday Records Webstore. Those who pre-order will receive a free poster and button. The CDs will ship two weeks before the release date. It should be noted that the band receives 80% of the profits from the sale of CAPTAIN LOVE so it actually does make a difference to the band if you actually purchase the album as opposed to just pirating it, matey!
We don't know what this is, but we like what we see
CAPTAIN LOVE!!
The good folks at Wednesday Records will be releasing CAPTAIN LOVE in N. America later this summer. Pre-orders can begin June 1st. Tiger Trap Records will be releasing the cd in the UK and 'Song In D' drops as a single, via Tiger Trap in the UK later this month. Also, we are working with Germany's Mi-Amante Records to get the album on wax. More news on that soon. It's been a long wait.

THE BAND APART COME TO AMERICA!!!
MOCK ORANGE RETURN TO JAPAN!!!
The time is near. Japan's The Band Apart play their first stateside shows with yours truly...in the Midwest no less. Mock Orange and The Band Apart will do a short string of shows in September before both bands head back to Japan for an extensive tour celebrating the Japanese release of Mock Orange's new cd, "Captain Love" and the release of the new The Band Apart EP "fadeouts(for JUSTICE)". For all you curious Americans, don't miss this chance to see The Band Apart in a more intimate setting than would be possible in their home country. See the tour section for cities to which we will be bringing our semi-truck full of love this fall.
