Last @bandcamp.com Friday of the year & a label with some of my favorite albums is having 30% off EVERYTHING all weekend. Check out Exploding In Sound, explodinginsoundrecords.bandcamp.com I'm particularly fond of BAKED, Mr.Goblin, Bethlehem Steel and Kal Marks but you could spend all day browsing!

ITS BANDCAMP FRIDAY! I put up a bunch of original paintings and put back up our leftover merch. The paintings are mostly water color. Thank you so much for the support. It really helps out at a time like now. kalmarks.bandcamp.com/merch

You know I can’t feed my daughter with streams. So why the fuck would I care about Spotify. They will find anyway to steal from artists to hurt people. Whether that’s funding military ai or ripping family apart they will find more ways. They’ve proven it time and time again.

Hey there! We’ve decided to take our music off Spotify. Just really don’t feel comfortable with their practices. Honestly I think they might be evil. We’re still on other streaming platforms and bandcamp. Thank you everyone who has listened to us in any other way!!!

This is a very old song, I’ve even forgotten it.

Kal Marks "Adjusting Between The Sky and Pavement" kalmarks.bandcamp.com/track/adjust...

From a year ago: Wrote about records from Kal Marks, Pulsars, Old City, and Yon Loader:

“Wasteland Baby” is one year old today! The songwriting was sparked from my fears of becoming a parent in this grim world, and our actual baby is going to born any day now. Crazy coincidence I guess. Still scared but so happy to be part of this.

It’s bandcamp Friday today. We don’t have any merch up anymore but we still have records that can ship via Exploding In Sound Records and plenty of albums for download including two collections (“Broken Songs” & “Lite”) that are not available on Spotify. Thanks!

Sorry to sound like a broken record, but tomorrow is the last chance to get any merch. Everything will be coming down indefinitely. Thank you so much!!! kalmarks.bandcamp.com/merch

LAST CHANCE TO SNAG SOME MERCH! All shirts, cds & tapes are coming off bandcamp after Sunday. Don’t think I’ll be able to fulfill any orders for a good long while with a brand new baby to take care of! Vinyl will still available through Exploding In Sound Records kalmarks.bandcamp.com/merch

Last chance to snag some merch. We have a sale going on bandcamp until Sunday. After that all merch is coming down. Don’t think I’ll be able to fulfill orders with a newborn in the house. Thanks!!! kalmarks.bandcamp.com/merch

Just developed a roll film from last year while we were making the “A Functional Earth” video with Pat and Kieran. Was a real fun time. We still got a bandcamp sale up until September 1st! Everything is coming down after that! Thanks! kalmarks.bandcamp.com/merch

Did some more doodles for orders. First person to order on bandcamp and leave the comment in the messages “I know you are but what am I?” will get this Pee Wee doodle. Sale continues for the rest of the month but doodles end after Sunday. Thanks!! kalmarks.bandcamp.com/merch

I think ICE is made up of the guys who saw Star Wars and really identified with the Storm Troopers.

Been doodling up a storm for these thank you notes. They’re going in all order from folks that are repeat customers on bandcamp. Bandcamp Sale continues until the end of the month. A bunch of orders are going out today and tomorrow. Thank you so so much!!!! kalmarks.bandcamp.com/merch

Nothing is cooler than a festival brought to you by Jeff Bezos

Playing solo Sunday at the Myrtle in East Providence with good ole chap Rick from @pile.bsky.social . Early show, doors at 2. I’ll be doing sort a droney ambient set with old and new KM songs.

Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros frontman denies "Home" is the "worst song ever written"

the thing that trans people ask of the world is so tiny, really. just to be able to exist as the person they are, without the rest of us being weird or cruel about it. it's a deep shame on our society that we are unable to deliver on so small a thing.

Hope folks like doodles! I wanted to show some gratitude for all the help we’ve received this past bandcamp Friday and beyond. Anyone that’s ever bought multiple items will get a handwritten thank you note with accompanying doodle. THANKS!!! kalmarks.bandcamp.com/merch

Hey there!!! It’s Bandcamp Friday and we’re having a sale from now until the first of September and then we’ll be taking all the t-shirts and CDs off bandcamp indefinitely. I just won’t have anytime to fulfill orders anymore while taking care of a newborn. kalmarks.bandcamp.com/music

Tomorrow is bandcamp Friday in we’ll be having a sale on all our t-shirts! Sale will be in affect until early September. I’ll be taking all t-shirts & cds off bandcamp after. I don’t think I’ll have time to fulfill orders with a newborn baby. Vinyl will be available via @eisrecords.bsky.social

Big thanks for all the kind words we received after I posted the original photos from Wasteland Baby. Really warms my heart. I’ve taken photos for most of our records. I know I’m no pro but maybe reach out if you need a photos for your record and I’ll give it a crack!

Stumbled across the original photo I took for “Wasteland Baby”. Took it down the street from our home in Cranston, Rhode Island. I used a Holga 120 medium camera. I know this is pretty late to be sharing this, but I just found it and thought “hey maybe somebody might find this nifty”. Take care

This jabroni is playing a solo show next month August 10th in East Providence at the Myrtle with good bud Rick Maguire from @pile.bsky.social

Big Tech is the Military Industrial Complex. AI is the Military Industrual Complex. Spotify is the Military Industrial Complex. The AI band is the Military Industrial Complex. Don't fall for it. Don't think it can be done well or better or cooler.

Some super rad photos from Zoe Hopper of our last Boston show! Already miss it. Maybe we could play a Bar Mitzfah or Wedding in a couple years? Leftover merch is up on bandcamp. Snag a shirt. Really helps us out! kalmarks.bandcamp.com/merch

TOUR LEFTOVERS ARE UP ON BANDCAMP NOW! Got plenty shirts from our final tour up as well as a few other stragglers. I’ll be taking everything down around late August because I don’t think I’ll have time to fulfill orders with a brand new baby arriving. Thanks! kalmarks.bandcamp.com/merch

Just a few words on our final tour! We’ll meet again, I don’t know when I don’t know how! Almost broke my leg on this tour so a rest is best! Thank you Young Widows & Rid of Me for an amazing time! Thank you everyone who came out one final time! Take care!

I read the rolling stone article on Blue Smiley and just want to say if anyone cares that Brian was so fucking kind to me. It meant a lot. They don’t deserve this shit that’s happening to them. Be kind to musicians.

Yo Boston!!! The show tonight moved from Crystal Ballroom to @the4thwallbos . It’s the capital theater in Arlington if you didn’t know. Tonight will be our last ever show in Boston. We’ll prove that we were the best band from Boston named after a guy with a beard.

It’s days like today that I’m so glad I don’t live in Boston anymore. Sorry.

OUR LAST BOSTON SHOW IS ONE WEEK AWAY FROM TODAY! Playing Wednesday June 4th at Crystal Ballroom with Young Widows & Rid of Me! Hope to see you!!! Tickets: www.crystalballroomboston.com/events/young...

We’ll be taking a long break as we focus on being new parents and living in new homes. Couldn’t be more excited! Sorry it’s kind of unclear if & when we’ll continue, but it might be hard to play shows with the cost of child care and international flights. Hope to see you on the Young Widows run!
