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.

-Artrocker (UK)

This album is without a doubt their best and most adventurous yet.

-Aesthetica (UK)

One listen to the joyous title track could soothe your exasperation with dour, colorless acts. You deserve to hear them and they deserve to be heard.

-AU (Ireland)

Extremely well arranged, smart progressive pop. 5 out of 5.

-Babysue

Pre-order now (for only 10 dollars), and receive a FREE poster featuring art by Kathleen Lolley (My Morning Jacket) and a button. The money goes directly to the band, so it makes a huge difference.

To pre-order, go here: Wednesday Records Webstore

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 time is near. Japan's The Band Apart play their first stateside shows with yours truly...in the Midwest no less.

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.
