We’re excited to say that this month our new record, “The King Can Drink the Harbour Dry“, was officially released nationally.  This month also marks the anniversary of the infamous “Boston Tea Party“, an event which rattled Boston and inspired a (soon to be) nation, and it’s captivated our imaginations ever since.  It was in the spirit of the Sons of Liberty, the group of Bostonian rebels who led the Boston Tea Party, that the song “The King Can Drink the Harbor Dry” came about.  The chorus of the song eventually lent it’s lyrics to the title of the new record.  I wrote the majority of the song over a year ago, but it wasn’t until a few months ago that we finished recording it with the band – while the song was finished a bit late to make the new album, we’ve included it, along with several other favorites from the “King” sessions, on a bonus EP of sorts that’s available free with the purchase of our new record from our online store.  You can find the store by clicking here or the picture below…the EP is called “William Dawes and Other Forgotten Gems“…

To celebrate the release of the new album…and the Boston Tea Party…we’re posting the song “The King Can Drink the Harbor Dry” as a free download. To listen to it, check out the player on the upper right corner of the site. The new song is the second one in the player.

This drawing by Ben Franklin was a popular image in Boston during the months leading up to the Revolution – for the Sons of Liberty, a rebellious group of Bostonians who orchestrated the Boston Tea Party, it became their calling card and principle message, and it inspired a new nation. It also had a hand in inspiring our new record…

We’re excited to have released “The King Can Drink the Harbour Dry” locally this past weekend (and a huge thanks to all who were able to make it out to the shows).  It’s been quite the year finishing up this album and we’re thrilled to finally have the chance to get it out to you…thank you for being patient with us : )
