Pre-order Bryan McPherson's "American Boy American Girl"

2012-02-09T15:03:00.000-08:00

State Line Records, the label owned and operated by Boston’s Ducky Boys, is proud to announce the release of Bryan McPherson’s American Boy American Girl scheduled for April 17, 2012. This will be State Line Records catalog #SLR 005 and it will be available on CD and digitally in its initial pressing. Please visit our site for pre-order information. The pre-sale version of the album will be sold for a discount of $7.

Bryan McPherson was born and raised in Dorchester, MA, an Irish-Catholic neighborhood of Boston known for its tough demeanor and sometimes narrow world view. Bryan grew up exploring music through Boston's punk rock scene, which often reflected the values fostered by his hometown. When it came time to pursue music of his own, however, Bryan found his own road to walk. His friends bought second-hand half stacks. Bryan got an acoustic guitar. Dorchester's Street Dogs, Pug Uglies and Dead Friends often sing about the trials of growing up in that neighborhood. Bryan's lyrics also reflect his upbringing, but from a broader perspective as he explores his place in this world and the struggles of the human race. Bryan's road brought him to folk music: the music of the people.

On Bryan McPherson’s second album, American Boy American Girl, he explores this narrative and he spits rage in the face of those who oppress, those who would have us be afraid, those who control for their own selfish means. He paints humanity as one group, with "no class, no creed, no nation." The songwriting reveals his punk rock foundation through a lens shaped by Dylan and Guthrie. American Boy American Girl displays Bryan's range and talent, and hints at a future of limitless potential.

Bryan McPherson's songs are protest music at its best. He rails against injustice and inequality, and government in any form that would make subjects of its citizens. Fittingly, American Boy American Girl will be released on April 17, 2012: tax day.
• Bryan McPherson was a major supporter of the "Occupy" movement. He performed at the protest encampments for free alongside Amanda Palmer, Michael Moore, NoFX and Anti-Flag.
• Bryan did a week-long residency as a part of the Dropkick Murphys' St. Patrick’s Day celebration in Boston where he played to an estimated 24,000 people.
• Bryan played a pivotal role in the New York City "Anti-Folk" movement.
• Bryan's reach continues to grow; he recently returned from London where he performed a one-off show in front of a capacity audience.
• American Boy American Girl is Bryan's first collaboration with a label. He sold 2,000 copies of his debut record, 14 Stories, out of the trunk of his car.
• Bryan will support this release with extensive touring which will kick off April 26, 2012 at TT the Bears Place in Cambridge, MA for his CD release show.
Bryan McPherson came onstage with only his guitar and played a brand of folk music reminiscent of the Dylan-esque intensity of the 60s with Bruce Springsteen-like content focused on the working man and the plight of today's America. Full of passion and heart, it was obvious this wasn't just music to him, but a very personal journey through his own demons."

Ebenezer Blood cd

2011-09-30T07:48:00.001-07:00

Ebenezer Blood is a new band featuring Mark Lind, Bob Falzano, Steve Young and Will Toxic. This record was made by Mark and Bob at Mad Oak Studios (Gozu, Ducky Boys, Dresden Dolls) in the summer of 2011 before Steve and Will joined up but it does include the songs that will comprise our initial live sets. The record was produced by Benny Grotto with additional production and guidance from Rob Lind. It features a guest vocal appearance by Tank from Energy (Bridge 9 Records) and Rob Lind (Blood for Blood/Ramallah) along with guest guitar playing by Rob on some songs. The style of Ebenezer Blood is a significant departure from The Unloved, Sinners & Saints or Ducky Boys. The sound of the band is more akin to what Ramallah does than any of the punk rock stuff you've heard in the past. It's also meant to appeal to fans of 90's hard rock, grunge and metal with influences including Only Living Witness, Life of Agony, Biohazard, Alice in Chains, Anthrax, Metallica and White Zombie.

"Was This The Only Way?" has 10 songs:
01. Nothing*
02. Only Enemy (guest vocals by Rob Lind)
03. This Revolution
04. Gunshots (guest vocals by Jason Tankerly)
05. Liars Snakes and Thieves*
06. Resident Evil
07. Tensions*
08. Save Me
09. Wicked Eyes*
10. The Chosen Ones*

*Rob Lind plays guest guitar on these songs
